1 killed in Bangladesh as garment workers clash with police over pay rise: ‘Economy is on fire’
Description
November 8, 2023
In Bangladesh, many garment workers have lost their jobs and one woman was killed during a Wednesday demonstration for more pay, which turned violent. The latest death was the third since protests erupted in the past week. “Do you see the price of potato and onion in the market? The new hike will not compensate for the deficit of our needs. It should be raised further. We have to pay rent, food, and children's education. The market economy is on fire. How can we go on like this?” garment worker Rahima Begum asked.
