Dismissal after mass textile strike Bangladesh

Textile workers in Bangladesh who went on strike for better pay, his massive layoffs.

Police hold 22 people. They would have called for violence. Union leaders dispute that accusation and claim that the police and employers simply strike would quell. Which lasted two weeks. Tens of thousands of workers from 59 factories stopped work. They demanded a hefty pay rise, from the current 64 euros to 195 euros per month. That goal was not achieved.

Government and textile industry saw the strike primarily as a loss for the clothing exports.
