Worker unrest has shut down hundreds of garment factories in Dhaka, per France 24. Protests erupted after demands for higher wages were rejected by management.

The strikes, which began in the early morning hours, have disrupted production at major export hubs and threaten upcoming delivery deadlines, Bloomberg reports.

Bangladesh's garment industry, a cornerstone of the country's economy, employs over four million workers, many of whom are women, according to the LSE Blog.

The labor dispute has prompted concerns about potential impacts on global supply chains and could influence future trade agreements with key international partners.
