About 3 million 500 thousand places, of which women accounted for 85%.

On behalf of the chairman, the outside world indicated that some groups who wanted to take advantage of the interests of the outside world, on the grounds of protecting employees' rights, incited the workers to set up trade unions.

In fact, the union not only did not create any benefits for its employees, but only caused confusion for the garment industry, resulting in a negative impact on the market development potential.

The export volume of the Bangladesh flat knitted garment industry in the first 9 months of 2010 to 2011 has been $6 billion 698 million 520 thousand, far ahead of the target set before.

The knitted apparel industry also exported $650 million in the same period.

If the Ordinance is established, it will lead to an increase in labour unrest and Bangladesh's loss of competitiveness in the international garment export market.

AnwarUlAlamCHowdhury, the former chairman of BGMEA, proposed the establishment of a staff welfare committee for the time being. In order to protect the benefits of employers and employees, the industry gradually adapted to the intervention of the trade union system.
