Bangladesh Garment Factories Reopen Following Wage Protests
Garment factories in Bangladesh resumed operations on Monday following a weekend of widespread closures and production disruptions. The shutdowns were triggered by worker protests demanding a significant increase in the minimum monthly wage. Protesters are seeking to raise the current minimum wage from 12,500 taka ($102) to 30,000 taka ($241). While factories have begun reopening, the unrest highlights ongoing labor tensions within one of the world's largest apparel manufacturing hubs.
