Workers’ leaders expressed their concern on Tuesday over the termination of six workers of Hanwen Garments, and demanded immediate reinstatement of their jobs. They claimed that the factory owners did not follow the existing labour law while terminating the workers. The leaders also alleged that the workers were fired, only because of their involvement in trade union activities. They also warned that if the factory owners do not reappoint the six workers, they will continue their protest. The workers’ leaders said these at a protest programme, held in front of the National Press Club in the city. After the protest the aggrieved workers held a rally in the High Court area. Fozle Hossen Badsha MP, National Garment Workers Federation president Md. Amirul Haque Amin, and other workers’ union leaders were present in the programmes. Mr Badsha assured that the government would take necessary actions, if the factory owners fail to reappoint the fired workers and duly follow the country’s labour law.
