Pay RMG workers by July 6, state minister asks factories

State Minister for Labour and Employment Monnujan Sufian has ordered industrial units, including readymade garment factories, to pay workers their salaries and festival allowances by July 7.

She issued a statement to this effect on Sunday.

Earlier, she held an RMG Tripartite Consultative Council (TCC) after two separate meetings with stakeholders last week.

She said: "After the meetings with representatives of owners and workers, the government set a deadline of July 7 for factories, both private and public, to pay the salary for June."
