Garment factory owners will shut down production units under the no work, no pay rule from tomorrow if they are unable to operate amid ongoing unrest, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) said today.

BGMEA President Mahmud Hasan Khan announced the decision at a press briefing at the association's office in Dhaka.

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.
