Sit-in in Khulna
Khulna Nagorik Samaj observed a one-hour sit-in programme from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon on Monday at picture palace cinema hall intersection demanding reintroduction of Section 307 of the Labour Act, 2006. The programme followed by a rally at the same place was participated by leaders of different political parties, labour organisations, civil societies and workers of shrimp processing factories, private-owned jute mills and Dada match factory. Speakers at the rally said Section 307 of the Labour Act provides conviction for its violation. The last caretaker government by an amendment kept only Tk 25,000 fine for violation while the present government again amended it with a provision for Tk 5,000 fine for the same offence. The latest amendment will provoke the offenders, they said.
