Sacked Mongla Port workers go on hunger strike
MONGLA, Feb 25: Around 4,000 workers, sacked after introduction of new systems in good handling in Mongla port, went on a fast unto death to press home their five-point demand, reports UNB.
As per their schedule, the workers gathered on the premises of Mongla Bandar Shramik Sangha Chattar in the morning and started their programme from 10am today.
Their demands include cancellation of dock abolishment order, removal of two top officials of the port and payment of arrears of 200 dead workers.
The strikers said nearly 4,000 workers were sacked after the immediate past Caretaker Government introduced a new system in goods handling in the port abolishing the Dock Workers Management Board, constituted on August 31, 1987. However, the authorities are yet to pay their pensions and other arrears.
The workers vowed to continue their strike action until their demands are met.
