Tea workers’ strike: The Department of Labour organised a tripartite meeting between owners of tea gardens and tea workers’ leaders yesterday. However, workers’ strike continued this morning as no agreement was reached regarding their demand for an increased minimum wage.
Workers of 167 tea gardens across the country, including 92 of Moulvibazar, continued their strike for the sixth day yesterday as the garden owners proposed a daily wage hike by only Tk 20 against the demand of an increase to Tk 300 from Tk 120.
