Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (September 3, 2022) asked tea garden owners and workers to work together for further development of the industry and save it from collapse.
Tea workers have expressed mixed reactions to the daily wage set at Tk 170, following a meeting between tea garden owners and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her official residence Gono Bhaban.
The recent strike called by the Bangladesh Cha Sramik Union (BCSU) has brought the sufferings of our tea workers to the fore. They are demanding a minimum wage of Tk 300 a day to improve their day-to-day lives.
