Workers at Sanzi Textile Mills Limited, part of the Well Group in Chattogram’s Kalurghat BSCIC industrial area, resumed work on September 3 after the factory owners promised to pay two months’ overdue wages within the current month. The workers had staged a demonstration on September 2, demanding their July and August wages.
The protest ended when the owners, in the presence of police and Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) representatives, assured them of payment. July’s wages are to be paid by September 10, and August’s by September 25. The factory employs around 1,350-1,400 workers. BGMEA Vice President Rakibul Alam Chowdhury confirmed that the workers have returned to work and expressed hope for a swift resolution to the situation, noting that government incentives have also been announced.
