Garments Sramik Oikya Forum yesterday demanded that the government pays the dues of Tuba Group workers by confiscating the assets of the group’s owner Delwar Hossain.
The demand came from a human chain programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the capital.
Speaking on the occasion, the Garments Sramik Oikya Forum’s finance secretary Shahidul Islam said Tuba Group owner has violated the labour law and his assets should be seized to pay the dues of the workers according to section 136 of the Bangladesh Labour (Amendment) Act 2013.
He said the State Minister for Labour, Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) and the Tuba Group owner have pledged the workers to pay their dues in time, but the workers are still deprived.
