Call to develop good relations between workers, owners

Staff Correspondent, ctg
Strong motivational role of the owners. sense of belonging among the workers, timely intervention of the management in case of any agitation, proper assessment of the situation and agood relationship between the owners and the workers may bring about a positive change and create favourable atmosphere in the country's beleaguered readymade garments sector.
This was observed at a view exchange meeting on' Law and order situation in the RMG sector in Chinagong' at the conference room of Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers and Exporters .Association's (BGMEA) Chittagong region office onThursday evening.
BGMEA leaders, garment owners and top officials of the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI). Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) and Rapid Action
Battalion (Rab) were present at tire meeting chaired and moderated by MA Salam, first vice-president of BGMEA.
DGFI Chinagong Chief Col Md Masud Hossain attended the meeting as chief guest and CMP Commissioner M Akbar Ali as special guest.
The meeting was convened to discuss present law and order situation in Chittagong garment units against the backdrop of some incidents of unrest and agitation in Dhaka and Chittagong in recent months, and to find out ways to stop recurrence of such incidents ahead of Eid-ul Fitr.
CMP Commissioner Akbar Ali admitted their failure to check the workers' agitation and consequent violence at some factories in last May, and apprehended that such incidents may occur again over the payment ofwages and bonuses prior to Eid.
"1 fear trouble may again erupt over the timely payment of salaries, bonuses or other dues during Ramadan," he said urging die gar ment owners to remain cautious about possible threats.
The commissioner however assured the factory owners that the CMP would monitor closely the activities of 'so-called' 20 to 22 troublemakers in Chittagong garments sector and take timely action against them.
Col Masud laid emphasis on containing the unrest or agitation within the boundary of the factory concerned.
“Don't give any scope to spread the unrest beyond the factory',” he said urging the owners not to leave the situation to be tackled by the managers.
“If you (garment owners) can grow a sense of belonging among the workers it would bring good for you and foryour industry," he added.
