Hotel workers' ultimatum
Hotel and restaurant workers gave the government a 72-hour ultimatum to meet their seven-point demand. Leaders of Natore District Hotel Workers Union on Wednesday announced the ultimatum at a demonstration in the town following their daylong work abstention. Their demands include implementation of the government-declared minimum wages and maternity leave for female workers. The workers also brought out a procession in the town and staged a demonstration at Nichabazar during their work abstention programme on Wednesday. Union president Abdus Sattar and general secretary Samar Chandra Sarker spoke on the occasion, and threatened to launch a tougher movement if their demands were not met within the deadline.
