Unrest in RMG
The new wage structure declared by the government has infuriated the RMG workers. Everyone knows that with a minimum salary of Tk 3000 per month, a worker can hardly make both ends meet, let alone other activities. But we will also have to be aware of the fact that it is an 80 percent increase from the previous salary structure. I believe our government could have handled the situation more prudently through maintaining communication with both workers and owners. Owners have to take workers in confidence that they are trying their level best to meet their (workers') rational demands. At the same time workers have to be patient. The government should not allow any evil force to instigate the workers to indulge in vandalism in the name of movement. Any kind of unrest in RMG sector is an ominous sign for our economy. Healthy environment for production is a crying need if we want to compete in global market.
