Minimum wages for Bangladesh cotton textile workers likely soon: BTMA

Incidents of labour unrest in some cotton textile mills demanding a minimum wage structure have been reported recently.

The association has already contacted the government's labour and employment secretary Ehsan-E-Elahi and top officials of the Minimum Wage Board, who assured the former about the announcement in near future, BTMA said in a release.

The wage structure will be immediately implemented following the announcement, starting from the month prescribed by the government, along with all arrears.
