BBC: Wage protests force hundreds of Bangladesh garment factories to close
"...Hundreds of garment factories in Bangladesh have been forced to closed after days-long protests by workers demanding higher wages.... Workers are demanding a minimum monthly wage of 30,000 taka ($242; £180), more than double the current standard, citing rising costs of living....The garment industry generates nearly $40bn every year for Bangladesh, accounting for around 10% of its GDP.
The South Asian nation is the world's second-largest garment exporter after China - but its workers are among the lowest-paid in the world, taking home around 13,000 taka ($105; £78) a month."

"Forced to close" lol the euphemisms media gets away with should be criminal.
Bosses starving our their workers is probably more accurate.
