During the course of 2021 over multiple surveys we asked garment workers in Bangladesh to help us understand what they know about their workplace contracts, and the terms of the contracts they pay attention to. In late November we rolled out a very specific survey and dug deep into workers’ salaries, asking them how much they understand about what and why they are paid.
The good news is that most garment workers have some understanding of their contracted salary terms. However, there are discrepancies between men and women, and understanding breaks down the more specific the questioning becomes.
We think the findings are important and we hope you’ll agree.
As always, you can send any questions you have for MFO, SANEM, the workers or about the project to questions@workerdiaries.org.
