Topic > Union Building in Bangladesh - 917

The act of unionising, in any sense, shows the strength and unity of a group of people. Whether it is the unionization of a school group or, on a larger scale, unionization on an international level, it is the ideal step to advance a group effort to move away from despicable acts of inhumanity and enter the world of liberation. This is the necessary step to take in Bangladesh; where children are forced to work, where the "minimum wage" does not exist and gender discrimination is constantly increasing. Even today, unionists in Bangladesh face intense scrutiny. There have been reports of torture, arrests and even deaths that have been necessary in the valiant effort to gain the basic work privileges they so rightly deserve. The creation of trade unions in the textile industries of Bangladesh is necessary to ensure better working conditions and protect equal employment opportunities for the people of the country. These include labor regulations such as child labor laws and gender-related wage regulation, which can be achieved by lobbying the government and strikes organized by unions. Since the post-Civil War response to a deficit in the social and economic impact of the industrial revolution, a union is a representative of the workforce of a specific sector. Provide action to management regarding workforce violations. These activities include regulation of workers' rights, minimum wage, benefits and better working conditions for members of said union. The United States is a leader in the union example: it has proven that unions are the best way to run a course of action. If the need arises, a union allows you to strike, lobby the government, and petition... middle of paper... should be the first step in organizing a union. Demonstrating that one group can come together and make a difference by informing their elected officials demonstrates to a nation that not only is change necessary but that people are willing to make their voices heard. Gender Wage Regulations In Bangladesh, women's wages are significantly lower than those of women. men. Within this gender discrimination is a factor that plays a role. In Gender Wage Discrimination in Rural and Urban Labor Markets of Bangladesh by Salma Ahmed and Pshkar Maitra it is stated that “few opportunities are offered to [women] in the workplace and they are significantly underrepresented in the political sphere” (83). Statistics show that women earn about 50% of a man's income. This inequality is the result of a government problem, which can be solved through actions that only a union can provide.
