COVID-19 awareness campaign in Informal RMG Workers, Dhaka

Bangladesh Labour Foundation (BLF) has distributed emergency food support to hundreds of Informal Local RMG Workers in Keranigong near Dhaka. These workers produces for the local market and mostly work on piece rate basis. Due to COVID 19, the factories were closed all of a sudden and the workers could not make it to go to their home. As maximum part of their wages are kept with the employers, these groups become highly vulnerable to loose their job as well as lost the dues with the employers. BLF strongly demands special incentive for these vulnerable workers as like the export oriented RMG. The food support will continue to others weekly basis।
