Don’t ask workers to return to Dhaka until further decision: BGMEA

Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has directed all of its members not to ask their workers that are currently at their villages, to return to Dhaka until a concrete decision is made about reopening factories.

“To keep the economy running and considering the overall situation, BGMEA will advise you on opening of factories,” it said in a general directive to its members on Friday.

Mentioning that a zone-wise staggered approach will be adopted to open the factories in a limited capacity, the association advised for asking only the workers who are living near the factories to join work.

Besides, it called for not retrenching any worker on humanitarian grounds.
