DHAKA – Uniqlo owner Fast Retailing has announced its support for a new International Labour Organization (ILO) initiative to enhance social security protection for garment workers in Bangladesh.
Fast Retailing is backing the Employment Injury Scheme (EIS), which will run for an initial period of three years with the option of being extended for another two, as part of its long-running partnership with the ILO.
EIS, the first ever scheme of its kind in Bangladesh, provides compensation for garment workers and their families in the event of injuries, disabilities and deaths caused by workplace incidents.
