"Decreasing orders: 800 RMG workers fear for livelihood as N'ganj factory announces layoff", 25 December 2023

"As there are no orders in the factory and until new work orders are received, according to Section-12 of the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006, the sweater division of Crony Tex Sweater Ltd has been declared lay-off until 7 February. All workers will be compensated as per labour laws," said a notice issued by the Crony Group today (25 December).

"At present, the whole world, including Bangladesh, is going through an economic crisis. The company's buyers reduced their orders. As a result, it has become impossible to run the activities of the sweater department," it also said...

A group of the laid off workers staged a protest on the Dhaka-Munshiganj road on Monday. They alleged that the factory was not paying their salaries regularly for the last few months.
