Bangladesh Tea workers strike: Tea workers, who were on an indefinite work abstention across the country for increasing the minimum wage, have decided to join work at the current daily wage of Tk 120.
"Today, I protest so that I don't die out of hunger. It's a protest for our lives, our survival and our rights." This was what Agni Banik, a permanent tea worker based in Moulvibazar, had to say before the countrywide protest was called off, after the prime minister's directive to raise their daily wage from Tk 120 to Tk 145.
