Bangladesh Labour Welfare Foundation (BLF) demanded fair wages for extra work of tannery workers.
The demand was raised at a human chain organised in front of the National Press Club on Monday.
Speakers said tannery workers have to do extra work, but do not get fair wages. The production would be increased, if the owners ensured worker’s right. Rights of workers should be confirmed for the development of the society and nation, the speakers added.
The other demands are providing proper training of workers to avoid accidents, ensuring better work environment for workers and rehabilitation of victims of accidents.
President of BLF Abdus Samad presided over the meeting. Among others, Secretary General ZM Kamrul Anam, member Rani Khan and tannery owners and workers were also present at the programme.
