Dird Washing Limited, a unit under Dird Group, has laid off approximately 300 workers due to a lack of work orders, marking the fourth closure within the Dird Group this year. The layoff notice, dated October 19,2023, was posted on the factory gate in Savar’s Rajfulbaria, following the Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 regulations. The company cited the absence of orders as the reason for the layoff, expressing intentions to resolve the issue after discussions with the affected workers. The head of human resources at Dird Group, emphasized the management’s commitment to ensuring workers’ payments. Some employees had salary arrears ranging from five to 11 months, adding to the challenges they face. Labor advocates urged the factory’s swift reopening. Earlier this year, Dird Garments Ltd, Dipta Garments Ltd, and Dipta Apparels Ltd, all part of Dird Group, ceased operations due to similar challenges.
