Twenty labour associations today (6 October) demanded the government implement the 18-point tripartite agreement between the owners, the workers and the government, and sought justice for the garment worker killed during recent protests.

In a joint press conference, the leaders urged all parties to avoid repressive measures against workers and act responsibly. 

They also called on workers to refrain from spreading rumours or misinformation that could destabilise the situation.

Additionally, the labour leaders urged workers to be cautious of any attempts to disrupt production. 

Montu Ghosh, president of the Bangladesh Garment Workers Trade Union Centre, read a written statement at the press conference.

According to the statement, some garment factory owners have continued repressive practices since the political change on 5 August.

"Due to a long history of being denied legal rights, free trade unions, and basic facilities, workers felt compelled to protest and demand change at various factories. This led to the signing of the 18-point agreement on 24 September during a tripartite meeting at the Ministry of Labour and Employment," reads the statement.

Mentioning that one worker was killed and over a hundred were injured during the recent unrest, the labour leaders demanded the arrest and severe punishment of those involved.
