opportunity to defend themselves through a
procedure that is fair and objective.
Absence of due process

 There are some suggestion will be help for worker.
Present situation is not modernized system for new
generation. Follow its-
 It is the high time to ensure democratisation of the
Bangladesh Labour Act keeping equal scope for all to
protect their rights.
 This Act is not worker-friendly one; rather it's an
owner-friendly law. So it should allocated by
International Labour Organisation.
