Don’t ask workers to return to Dhaka until further decision: BGMEA

Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has directed all of its members not to ask their workers, who are currently at their respective villages, to return to Dhaka until a concrete decision is taken about reopening factories, reports UNB.

“To keep the economy running and considering the overall situation, BGMEA will advise you on opening of factories,” it said in a general directive to its members on Friday.

Mentioning that a zone-wise staggered approach will be adopted to open the factories in a limited capacity, the association advised for asking only the workers who are living near the factories to join work.

Besides, it called for not retrenching any worker on humanitarian grounds.
