For Unpaid Wages, RAK Ceramic Employees Block the Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway.
Workers from RAK Ceramics, a leading manufacturer in the ceramic tile industry, have staged a significant protest by blocking the Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway today. The demonstration is in response to unpaid salaries, with workers alleging they have not received their wages.
hundreds of workers from the RAK Ceramic Factory began their protest in the morning in the Nayanpur area of Sreepur, demanding the unpaid increment from January to August. The protest began early this morning as workers gathered on the highway, a critical route that connects the capital city of Dhaka with Mymensingh. The blockade has led to severe traffic congestion and disruptions.
The blockade has created a major bottleneck, forcing vehicles to seek alternate routes and causing significant delays. Authorities have been working to manage the situation and are urging the workers to lift the blockade. Traffic police are on-site to assist with rerouting and to maintain order. However, negotiations with the protesters have been challenging, as the workers remain resolute in their demands.
RAK Ceramics has not yet issued an official statement regarding the situation. However, sources close to the company indicate that discussions are ongoing to address the workers’ grievances. The Bangladeshi government has called for both parties to engage in constructive dialogue to find a swift resolution.
