Despite working tirelessly in the factories amid the ongoing corona pandemic, thousands of workers have lost their jobs and as a result, they are passing days in utter miseries.
Against this backdrop, the International Workers Day or May Day will be observed in the country today when workers are losing jobs and being deprived of their rights.
Romesa Khatun joined as worker of Dragon Sweaters Factory in Dhaka in 1997 and worked there until the factory was closed on March 26, 2020 following the outbreak of coronavirus.
