There will be many changes in labor laws: Adviser

Labour and employment adviser Brig Gen (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain said that there will be many changes in labor laws. It's not yet finalized, but many changes are coming.

The adviser said this while addressing reporters in a press briefing at his secretariat office in the capital on Wednesday (April 30).

In reply to a question regarding the law, he said that there is no need to give a timeline for anything in Bangladesh. It is difficult.

He said that our government's effort is to ensure the human rights and worker rights can remain equal. We are working every day with workers and labor laws. We are trying to make some improvements, and we need everyone's cooperation for that. On the government side, this is not just the work of the Ministry of Labor. There are several ministries too. It is possible for me to go forward with the workers if everyone contributes.

Secretary to the Ministry of Labor and Employment, AHM Shafiquzzaman, was present at the press conference.
