Bangladesh garment factories have fired hundreds of workers and many others are on the run after protests demanding higher wages. The government agreed to raise minimum wages, but workers still consider it too low, prompting major Western brands to urge fair treatment of workers. Some garment workers, like Delowar Hossin, were fired without explanation or severance dues, while Ducati Apparels' managing director, Khayer Mia, stated that no workers had been sacked despite vandalism during the protests.
