BGMEA, labour organisations work for betterment of RMG industry

Maintaining sound relations between the employers and workers through effective engagement and discussions will help the apparel sector to carry forward its achievements and keep the growth momentum going, BGMEA said in a press release.

The observations came from a meeting held between the BGMEA leadership and labour leaders at BGMEA office.”While the apparel sector is yet to fully recover from the impacts of the COVID-19, the increase in prices of yarn, cotton, dyes, chemicals and other raw materials has pushed the production cost up,” said the BGMEA president Faruque Hassan at the meeting.

“But prices have not increased proportionately. Moreover, recent surge in COVID-19 infection in the world including some European countries has raised concerns. In such critical situation, we all have to work together and be united so that our apparel industry can face all the challenges and remain competitive in the global market,” Hassan added.
