   “When Bangladesh’s Minimum Wage Board met in November 2023 to decide wages for garment workers, trade unions called for a monthly Living Wage of 23,000 taka (approx £172), given that the previous wage of 8,000 taka (£60) was a poverty wage that made fruit a luxury item. Protests erupted when the Board announced a new wage of just 12,500 taka (£90). The state cracked down on the protests—killing four workers and arresting thousands more including trade union organisers.”
