The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FBCCI) has called upon the owners and workers to plan and work in a manner that protects the interests of both parties.
"Workers are the backbone of our economy, while owners also significantly contribute to the country's economic growth. There is an extraordinary friendship between businessmen, factory owners, and workers. Nonetheless, we must operate systematically to collaborate effectively with workers while ensuring the protection of owners' interests," FBCCI President Mahbubul Alam said at a meeting of the FBCCI's standing committee on Labor Policy virtually today (25 May) afternoon.
He also called on the committee members to prepare a proposal based on their opinions and recommendations on modernizing the labour law.
