Bangladesh garment workers clashed with police and defied calls to end protests, per Arab News. The unrest occurred as workers demand better wages and working conditions amid ongoing labor disputes.
Bloomberg reports that garment workers halted production in wage protests across the country, reflecting broader discontent within the industry. Workers say current pay barely covers basic needs, according to Al Jazeera.
The protests have intensified in Dhaka, with demonstrators gathering at key factories and trade union centers. The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association has called for dialogue but so far no resolution has been reached.
