Politicians and labour leaders on Wednesday at a discussion meeting demanded implementation of trade unionism in the garment industries.
The flourishing apparel sector of the country is facing various movements due to lack of trade union rights in the garment factories, said the coordinator of the Sramik Karmachari Oikya Parishad, Wazedul Islam Khan.
Industries minister Dilip Barua said that the Awami League-led governmentwould soon scrap the laws that violate the rights of the workers to form trade unions.
The National Garment Workers Federation, a rights body working in support of the workers in the garment sector, organised the discussion meeting at the Dhaka Reporters Unity to mark its 27th founding anniversary.
The discussion, chaired by the Federation's president Amirul Haque Amin, was addressed by Workers Party's general secretary Anisur Rahman Mollick.
