An apparel factory at Dhaka Export Processing Zone remained closed for the second consecutive day on Wednesday following workers’ protests for unpaid overtime bills. Workers of the factory, FCI Ltd, said that they went to the factory in the morning and found it shut. The management suspended the production at the factory on Tuesday as five people were injured during protests staged by the workers pressing for immediate payment of the unpaid overtime bills. The workers alleged that the management forced them to work overtime for two hours and a half but made no payment, violating the factory rules. None of the management was available for comments despite repeated attempts.
