Sed Fashion Ltd suddenly closed on 8 April without any early notice. After multiple promises they finally arranged to pay back salaries to their garments workers at the Kawran Bazar BGMEA building, on yesterday noon. Still, the poor garments workers only received half of a month’s salary.
Sed Fasion Ltd closing notice first mentioned of paying the salary of March, on 16 April. After multiple fake promises from the owners and protesting of the workers demanding other compensations, owners finally signed a deal to pay one month’s salary with the workers’ leaders. 9th June was fixed for this payment.
But again, the owners tricked them in technical terms. By saying of never mentioning to pay full salary in the signed deal. This left the workers speechless and had no scope to protest for it. Fortunately, employees with more than 1 year job-span, received the Eid bonus.
