In Bangladesh, garment workers have been protesting for higher wages. Officials announced a 50-56% pay increase, but workers rejected it, demanding a threefold raise. The protests led to clashes with police and the closure of numerous factories. Global fashion retailers, including H&M and Gap, pledged to raise purchase prices for Bangladesh-made clothing to help factories offset the higher wages.
Around 25,000 garment workers clashed with police in Bangladesh on Thursday, as protests rejecting a gov't-offered pay rise forced the closure of at least 100 factories in the country. β in pictures https://t.co/19DPU3pqoe https://t.co/lR2NvXBUkR
