In September 2023, Faruque Hassan, President of Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) issued a letter respectively to the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) and the Action, Collaboration, Transformation (ACT) group to address concerns and observations on the minimum wages review and related matters.
BGMEA emphasised its unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of workers within the ready-made garment (RMG) industry. The association highlighted significant strides in workplace safety, environmental sustainability, and workers' empowerment.
“Considering the standard and cost of living of our workers, and the inflation, we also expect fair price and ethical sourcing from our valued buyers. Therefore, we would urge you to engage with global brands, retailers and their representatives urging them to be more empathetic and rational on pricing and sourcing practices. ”

One key aspect discussed was the ongoing review of minimum wages considering the prevailing challenges posed by inflation and changes in living standards. BGMEA urged global brands and retailers to engage in fair pricing practices. This engagement is critical to support a rational adjustment aligned with the new wage scale, ultimately ensuring the continued welfare and prosperity of the workers.
Through these communications, BGMEA seeks collaborative efforts with AAFA and ACT to advocate for fair pricing practices. These practices are pivotal for maintaining workers' livelihoods, sustaining the industry, and promoting stable progress.
