DHAKA (The Thursday Times) — Bangladesh ke garment manufacturers ne dhamki di hai ke agar kai hafton se jari mazdooron ke ehtijaj ke dauran torr phorr band na hui to woh kam az kam ujrat ke muzakraat se alag ho jayenge aur factoriyan ghair muayyan muddat ke liye band kar denge. Is dhamki ne us sanat par tanaza mazeed sangeen kar diya hai jo mulk ki baramdi aamdani ka paanch mein se chaar hissa kamati hai.
Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) aur Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) ne Haftay ko kaha ke woh is par ghaur kar rahi hain ke factoriyon ke tahaffuz ki kisi yaqeen dehani ke baghair muzakraat mein shamil raha jaye ya nahin. BGMEA ke sadar Mahmud Hasan Khan ne Dhaka mein aik news briefing mein kaha, "Agar soorat-e-haal yehi rahi to hamein dobara sochna hoga."
Khan ne kaha ke jo factoriyan badamni ki wajah se kaam jari nahin rakh sakin, woh Itwaar se Bangladesh ke labour qanoon ki "kaam nahin to tankhwah nahin" ki shiq, yani Labour Act ki dafa 13(1), ke tehat ghair muayyan muddat ke liye band rahengi. Yeh shiq malikan ko ujrat ada kiye baghair kaam muattal karne ki ijazat deti hai.
Haftay ko darul hukoomat ke muzafat mein waqe barray sanati marakiz Savar, Ashulia aur Gazipur mein taqreeban 147 factoriyan band rahin. Ashulia mein kai band units ke muntazimeen ne ghair muayyan muddat tak bandish ke notice aawezan kar diye. Gazipur mein mazdooron ne aik ghante se zyada traffic roke rakha, jis ke baad qanoon nafiz karne wale ahalkaron ne unhein muntashir kar diya.
140 feesad izafe ka mutalba
Hukoomat ne 1 November ko aajiron aur mazdooron ke numaindon par mushtamil kam az kam ujrat board tashkeel diya tha, jis ka agla ijlas Peer ko hoga. Mazdoor chahte hain ke mahana kam az kam ujrat, jo December 2023 mein 12,500 taka muqarrar ki gayi thi, barha kar 30,000 taka (taqreeban 240 dollar) ki jaye, yani 140 feesad izafa. Baaz mazdoor tanzeemon ne yeh raqam 32,000 taka batayi hai. Aajiron ne ab tak koi baqaida jawabi tajweez pesh nahin ki, aur tawaqqo hai ke board December tak nayi ujrat ka elaan karega.
Mazdooron ka kehna hai ke khurak, kiraye, transport aur ilaj ke akhrajat un ki tankhwahon se kahin aage nikal gaye hain, jabke mehngai ki sharah taqreeban 8 feesad hai. Badamni October mein shuru hui thi aur kai baar purtashaddud rukh ikhtiyar kar chuki hai; is maah jharpon ke dauran muzahireen ne police ki gaariyan nazr-e-aatish kin aur factoriyon ko nuqsan pohanchaya. Jumay ko mazdoor rehnumaon ne pur-aman rehne ki appeal ki. Mazdoor rehnuma Meer Abul Kalam Azad ne mazdooron se kaha, "Kisi aisi takhreebi sargarmi mein shamil na hon jo wage board ke jari kaam ko khatre mein daal sake."
Ashulia mein S-21 Apparels ke general manager Mazharul Islam ne bataya ke Jumeraat ko un ke taqreeban 95 feesad mazdoor kaam par aaye thay, lekin phir aik chhote giroh ne naara baazi shuru kar di aur doosron ko factory chhorne par majboor kiya. Unhon ne kaha, "Unhon ne factory mein torr phorr ki, aur factory ko bachane ke liye hamein us ki bandish ka elaan karna para."
Christmas ke orders khatre mein
Bangladesh China ke baad duniya mein malbosat baramad karne wala doosra sab se bara mulk hai. Yeh sanat salana taqreeban 38 arab dollar kamati hai, 40 lakh se zyada afraad ko rozgar deti hai, aur Levi Strauss aur VF Corp jaise brands ke liye kapre tayyar karti hai; VF Corp Vans, Timberland aur The North Face ki malik hai. Dono tijarati tanzeemon ke paas 4,500 se zyada factoriyan registered hain.
Yeh tanaza Christmas se pehle ke dinon mein samne aaya hai, jo saal ka masroof tareen shipping season hota hai. Mazharul Islam ne kaha ke Mashriq-e-Wusta ki jang ki wajah se saman ki tarseel mein pehle hi taqreeban 10 din ka izafa ho chuka hai, "aur ab is badamni ke saath… yeh shoba yaqeenan khatre mein hai." Border Guard Bangladesh aur police ne sanati ilaqon mein gasht barha diya hai.
Mazdooron aur malikan ke darmiyan yeh tatul aise waqt mein samne aaya hai jab Dhaka ka kehna hai ke us ne sabiq wazir-e-azam Sheikh Hasina ki Bharat se wapsi ke liye qanooni karrawai mukammal kar li hai.
