Labour unrest

The news that has captured the headlines of all national dailies is labour unrest in the garment sector. No doubt, that is a big threat for our garment industry. From the very beginning of this industry, we have been experiencing the virulent crisis that is getting worse with the passage of time. Though the government with the help of the employers tries to get to a proper solution to this so called labour unrest, it still remains a long way to go.
It is very much reasonable to say that labourers of our garments sector are really exploited by the employers who enjoy unlimited profit by using the cheap labour as a competitive advantage of the industry. Our labour forces raise their voices against the exploitation, and we are right beside them. We want the authorities to look into the matter both by enacting separate labour laws for garment workers and by practicing corporate culture in which good relationship between employers and employees exists.
