State Minister for Labour and Employment Begum Monnujan Sufian on Saturday said the factories have to be compliant for the development of the leather sector.
She also urged factory owners to take effective steps to prevent environment pollution.
“The government is with the owners for the development of the export-oriented sector. We have to take the industry forward by producing quality goods and ensuring rights of the workers as per the Labour Law,” she said at a dialogue organised by the Asia Foundation on the impact of coronavirus on the workers of the tannery industry.
