Tailoring shop workers on strike in Satkhira

Owners returning orders days before Eid

UNB, Satkhira
Workers at the tailoring shops in the district are on strike for the last 10 days to press for wage hike.
The stalemate has kept the townspeople in a grave worry ahead of the Eid-ul-Fitr, the greatest religious festival of the Muslims.
O n the other hand, the tailors are determined to continue strike until their demand was met
Meanwhile, owners of the tailoring shops through loudspeaker have requested the people who placed Eid orders to take back their cloths as their delivery could not be possible in time due to the strike.
Due to the situation, many of the town dwellers have started buying readymade garments from the shopping malls to meet the Eid requirements.
But the poor and low-income group people are finding it too difficult to resolve trouble.
One customer, Abdur Rouf, who came to take back his panjabi cloth said on every Eid his sons buy him cloths for making panjabi for saying Eid prayers.
But I am afraid it might not be possible this time, he said.
Many other customers expressed similar fears like Rouf.
Female customer Monwara Momtaz however said that the owners should meet the workers' demand.
She lamented that the tailoring shop owners were returning her cloths for salwar and kamiz only days ahead of Eid.
Darji Sramik Union president Mozaffar Hossain and general secretary
Sheikh Shaheed Akbar Hossain said they had given ultimatum to the owners twice to meet their 14-point demand.
But the owners did not heed to our demands, he alleged, adding they had no alternative to going for tough action programme.
Satkhira District Tailoring Shop Owners Association general secretary Sirajul Islam said that the demands ofthe workers were unjustified.
He said last year they had a two-year agreement with Darji Sramik Union at Satkhira Chamber of Commerce.
But after just eleven months, the workers have raised new demands in violation of the agreement, he noted.
