May Day 2026: Workers’ Strength and Dignity

On the occasion of International Labour Day 2026, Bangladesh Labour Foundation (BLF), with the support of Mondiaal FNV, organized a rally and programme in solidarity with Ready-Made Garment (RMG) workers and supply chain workers. The program strengthened collective voices for rights and dignity at work by bringing together workers from various levels of the sector.

Voices from Across the Supply Chain

From factory floors to subcontracting units and informal workplaces, workers united to highlight ongoing challenges within the supply chain. While Bangladesh’s RMG sector continues to play a significant role in the global market, many workers—particularly in lower tiers—still face low wages, unsafe working conditions, and limited access to protection and rights.

• Ensuring fair and living wages for all workers across the supply chain.
• Promoting safe and healthy working environments in every tier of production.
• Upholding freedom of association and the right to organize.
• Strengthening accountability through Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) in global supply chains.

BLF emphasized that a fair and sustainable future of work must be worker-centered—ensuring dignity, rights, and justice for all workers across every link of the supply chain—and reiterated its commitment to improving worker-driven due diligence and participatory labour governance.
