State-owned jute mill workers have resumed their nationwide indefinite strike after a day’s break on Saturday to press their nine-point demand including payment of outstanding wages.
They are scheduled to block roads across the country for four hours from 3pm, reports UNB.
Meanwhile, leaders of Khulna Nagorik Andolon and the Chhatra Sramik Andolon formed human chains to express solidarity with the workers, according to the news agency.
Workers’ wages of 12 weeks and other employees’ salaries of four months have remained unpaid, says report.
Jute mill workers started their protest from Apr 2.
They suspended their agitation after the authorities concerned promised to pay them within Apr 25. But the promise was not fulfilled and they resumed their protests earlier this month.
