Workers of the garment factories that were housed in Savar’s collapsed Rana Plaza have been demonstrating in front of the BGMEA Building in the capital demanding payment of their salary and compensation before Eid since around 12 noon.
The workers staged a sit-in on the road in front of the BGMEA building as police obstructed them when they tried to enter the building.
BGMEA has so far distributed wages and other benefits among 1,776 of its 3,617 listed workers of factories that were housed in Rana Plaza.
The association has refused the workers’ demand for four months’ pay.
Rana Plaza collapsed on April 24, killing 1,126 people.
