Hazaribagh tanneries vow to not lay off staff
24/03/2017
The promise came after a meeting between business owners in the region and workers. It was convened after reports earlier in March that tanneries intended to shut down their factories due to an order by Bangladesh’s High Court that would see their utility services, including gas, power and water, cut off.
"The meeting discussed what would happen during the transition period and we reached consensus that we will not declare lay-offs," said Shaheen Ahmed, chairman of the Bangladesh Tanners’ Association (BTA).
