This document provides a case study on the industrial relations practices of Green Textile Limited (GTL), a garment factory in Bangladesh. It summarizes that GTL employs over 1200 workers, mostly women, in its sewing, cutting, finishing and washing departments to produce cargo shorts and baby dresses. The study outlines GTL's employee benefits such as attractive salaries, bonuses, maternity leave, healthcare and an employee welfare committee. It also describes GTL's policies on recruitment, leave, grievances and health and safety. While it notes GTL does not allow labor unions, it argues the company maintains good industrial relations through rational salaries and addressing employee concerns.

PROBLEMS:

17.  They do not allow labor union. It does not mean that,
GLT does not allow employees participation. There is
an employees’ organization name Workers
Participation Committee (WPC). Organization takes
decision after discussing the matter with WPC
 GTL provides rational salary which is determined by
Bangladesh Government. So collective bargaining is
less important
 Organization cannot run with loss. So GTL can remove
extra labor. But, if such labor does not get any job
than GTL provides him/her 30 days basic in every year.
 GTL should follow Labor Law. So GTL provides
maternity benefits in accordance with labor law.

this organization maintain international
standards. At a time they make profit without

among all organizations in Bangladesh.
