Ariful Haque Choudhury serves as the Minister of Labour and Employment and the Minister of Expatriate Labour on Friday said that fruitful discussions have been held with labour leaders to resolve the ongoing labour unrest and pay workers their outstanding wages. He said the process of paying workers' dues would begin on Sunday.
The minister made the remarks at an emergency press briefing held at his residence in Eskaton Garden.
Addressing labour leaders and media representatives, the minister said he had held highly fruitful discussions with labour leaders. He added that the demands and concerns raised by the leaders would be addressed one by one through discussions.
"We have to protect our industrial factories. At the same time, we must ensure that workers' legitimate demands are met. Based on discussions with labour leaders, we will take initiatives to resolve the issues one by one," he said.
The labour minister claimed that since Prime Minister Tarique Rahman took office, the government had managed to pay workers' wages despite various challenges and adverse circumstances.
Expressing hope, he said workers would receive their expected dues within the next one or two days. He also said the payment process would begin on Saturday and Sunday.
Calling on workers, the minister said they should focus on protecting industrial establishments alongside pursuing their rights and legitimate demands.
He expressed optimism that the ongoing labour unrest would be resolved through discussions.
