BOESL demands higher wages for Bangladeshi workers from overseas employers

Rights campaigners, women leaders and government officials in Bangladesh have demanded higher wages from overseas employers who wished to recruit skilled apparel workers from the nation. As per Bangladesh Overseas Employment Service Limited (BOESL), it was essential for overseas employers to double the wages of Bangladeshi garment workers as their wages had been increased in Bangladesh.

Over one lakh Bangladeshi apparel workers are employed abroad and 50per cent of them were sent by the country’s lone state owned recruiting agency BOESL. Workers employed in Jordan, Mauritius and Bahrain were paid lower wages, compelled to work overtime without any extra payments and were provided with unhealthy accommodations.

Karmojibi Nari, Director for Programme Sunzida Sultana believes that since garment workers were drawing better wages in Bangladesh, overseas employers should increase their wages by at least two times.
