This week’s Garment Worker Diaries blog is our regular monthly update on what we are learning from garment workers in Bangladesh about their work, health, and financial situation. We are keeping a close eye on work hours after the government raised the legal limit on the number of hours worked to 12 hours per day (72 hours per week). Future blogs will be looking at whether 12 hours per day becomes the new normal—in June 14% of our sample worked hours in excess of that number.
As always, you can send any questions you have for MFO, SANEM, the workers or about the project to questions@workerdiaries.org.
