Garment workers in Bangladesh want food subsidies

Following on from the major strikes of last year, Bangladeshi garment workers are still fighting to improve their working and living conditions.

Last week, hundreds of workers from the National Garment Workers Federation formed a human chain in front of the National Press Club to press for the government to introduce food subsidies for garment workers as wages are not keeping up with the pace of inflation.
