Fifty-five garment factories have already enforced Section 13(1) of the Bangladesh Labour Act, which provides for no work, no pay, to protect their units from vandalism by workers, he said.
Besides, 92 garment factories could not operate today due to unrest in major industrial zones, including Ashulia, Savar and Gazipur.
If factory owners are unable to run their units, they can enforce the no work, no pay provision from tomorrow, the BGMEA president said.
