The Minimum Wage Board for the readymade garment (RMG) workers is likely to finalise a new salary structure in the sixth round of its meeting on Tuesday.

The meeting will be held at the office of the board at Segunbagicha in the capital on Tuesday morning.

The RMG workers staged protests for a minimum monthly wage of Tk 23,000 in the capital and adjoining areas for a week, despite efforts by the government, workers' leaders, and owners' associations to normalise the situation.

On October 21, workers demanded that their minimum wage be increased from the existing Tk 8,000 to Tk 20,390 while the owners have proposed to increase it to Tk 10,400.
