Commerce Secretary Tapan Kanti Ghosh has dismissed concerns about potential trade sanctions from the United States against Bangladesh under a new global labor rights policy. According to Ghosh, Bangladesh has been actively collaborating with the European Union and the US to implement reforms in the labor sector. He stated that this process is ongoing and that both entities are satisfied with Bangladesh’s progress.
In recent years, Bangladesh has made significant efforts to improve labor conditions. The Labor Act has been revised three times since 2010, and the wage structure has undergone four reforms during the same period. Ghosh highlighted that these initiatives have put Bangladesh in a favorable position in terms of ensuring a safe and fair work environment in new industrial establishments.
The country’s commitment to labor rights and continuous improvements has been recognized by international partners. By actively engaging in dialogue and reforming labor laws and wages, Bangladesh is demonstrating its dedication to protecting the rights and well-being of its workers.
