Bangladeshi garment workers are forced to work overtime hours without receiving a standard living wage that is suitable for living expenses. Amidst a global pandemic, these workers are receiving any pay despite risky conditions that they are forced to work in. “A survey of factory owners in Bangladesh by Pennsylvania State University’s Center for Global Workers’ Rights found that millions of workers, mostly women from rural areas, had already been sent home without owed wages or severance pay. According to the survey, nearly all Western buyers refused to contribute to worker wages, and 70 percent of furloughed workers had been sent home without pay.” (Paton, 2020) Paton showcases that the most vulnerable members of society, underserved rural Bengali women, that are forced to take on these jobs, being the head of the households to tend for their families are already suffering enough working in these conditions under such a minimal pay, but to add on to that, they are not being paid in such a global catastrophe. In addition to this, the cost of survival has increased over the years. “Abul Hossain, the president of the Dhaka chapter of the Workers’ Party of Bangladesh, said workers were frustrated by stagnant wages in a country whose cost of living had risen over the past few years.” (Abrams and Sattar, 2017). This is a major issue because the retail companies and the Bangladeshi government does not look at the adversities that these workers have to deal with, on top of the low wages and unpaid wages they reive, the cost of living has increased drastically over the years which makes it harder to provide sustenance to themselves and their families. Bangladeshi garment workers need to be reimbursed for their work and delivered higher pay.
