Workers' representatives propose minimum wage of Tk 32,000, highest Tk 48,000

The workers' side has also proposed a monthly wage of Tk 30,000 for trainee workers.

However, representatives of garment factory owners have yet to submit their written proposal. The employers' side has been given four working days to present its recommendations.

Minimum Wage Board Chairman Syed Azad Subhani disclosed the developments while briefing reporters after the board's second meeting at its Segunbagicha office in the capital on Monday (November 9).

The proposed wage structure is expected to form the basis of further discussions between workers' and employers' representatives as the board moves towards determining a revised minimum wage for the country's ready-made garment (RMG) sector.
