Workers of a garment factory at Fatullah in Narayanganj staged a protest on Tuesday against the retrenchment of workers without notice and demanding payment of two months' arrears.
The workers of Prime Textile Limited started a demonstration in the Nandalalpur area of Sadar upazila Tuesday morning.
The agitating workers claimed that the owner laid off 360 workers last month without giving any prior notice. They announced that another 650 employees will also be retrenched, reports UNB.
They said that they found a factory closure notice on the gate in the morning and started the protest.
