Clean Clothes Campaign condemns BGMEA’s minimum wage proposal

On July 16, 2018, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) submitted a proposal for the workers’ minimum wage to be set at 6,360 taka (about 75 dollars), which the Clean Clothes Campaign has criticized saying, not only does this amount not meet any living wage standard for Bangladesh, it also does not remedy employers’ disregard for the legally required increases over the past five years.
