It has always favoured the workers,” Afroza said to workers. The government on Nov 25 last year gazetted the new wage structure for RMG workers setting Tk 8,000 as the minimum monthly pay. The monthly pay of the grades three, four and five workers have increased over 40 percent, according to the new wage structure. The protesters claim that the mid-level workers work more than the others but the lower-grade workers’ salary has increased more, the labour secretary said. A worker will not get less in the new wage structure than what they were being paid earlier, Afroza added.
