Garment workers gathered outside two factories on Monday after management suspended 57 employees. The demonstration took place at Mohammadia Group facilities in Bangladesh's Gazipur district. Workers demanded the reinstatement of their colleagues and the resolution of wage disputes. Police Inspector Abdul Latif confirmed that authorities arrived with factory department representatives to address the situation. Officials promised to handle the matter through legal channels.
Management suspended the workers for allegedly disrupting factory operations and creating disorder. The company accused suspended employees of ignoring dismissal letters and of encouraging other workers to participate in protests. Factory operators complained about unpaid wages and the delayed implementation of a 2024 government salary structure. Women workers reported being denied maternity benefits, while many employees said they received no final pay after proper resignation procedures.
These protests reflect widespread labor unrest across Bangladesh since the interim government assumed power last August. Similar demonstrations have affected hundreds of factories nationwide, with workers blocking major highways and demanding better conditions.
