Summary

The Centre has announced a complete suspension of construction and demolition activities across the National Capital Region (NCR) from November 5 to 20 as part of its efforts to curb rising air pollution during the winter season.

‘Going hungry’: Garment workers in Bangladesh say wages barely cover needs

Dhaka, Bangladesh – Laili Begum can no longer afford to keep her two children in school. A Muslim-majority South Asian nation of 170 million people, Bangladesh has one of the world’s lowest wages among apparel-producing countries. Cambodia has a minimum wage of $210 a month for garment workers, Vietnam’s range from $140-$210, while wages at China’s manufacturing hub of Guangdong range between $286 and $378. That disparity – worsened by rising inflation and the growing cost of living – pushed the workers to strike and hit the streets on Saturday to demand a minimum wage of 30,000 taka ($241), more than double the current wage of 12,500 taka ($102). Later that day, the government announced the formation of a six-member wage board to review the workers’ demands. The last revision of the minimum wage in the garment sector took place in December 2023. The government’s announcement of a wage board follows an amendment to labour laws to reduce the wage review cycle from five years to three years. Labour Minister Ariful Haque Choudhury meanwhile urged the workers to resume work, saying the wage board would begin its deliberations shortly. The impending wage negotiations come at a challenging time for Bangladesh’s garment industry, as manufacturers balance workers’ demands for better wages with rising production costs and intensifying global competition. However, without fair purchasing prices from international brands, significant wage increases could put pressure on factories and threaten employment,” he said.

Sweetgreen managers could earn more than $200,000 a year under a new pay plan, as the salad chain bets higher pay will lift sales

A fast-casual chain favored by the office lunch set is sweetening compensation packages for managers at its restaurants. Starting next year, Sweetgreen managers will be eligible to earn more than $200,000 a year if they meet certain milestones set by the company. The new offering, which will be paid through a mix of base salary and equity, is intended to empower managers who contribute to the business’s success, and “[share] those wins with those that are driving it,” co-founder and CEO Jonathan Neman said. Under the new incentive plan, Sweetgreen managers (known as “head coaches”) will see their base pay increase by up to 45% if they work at restaurants with higher sales volume. The company declined to specify how high sales need to be to meet this threshold. When restaurants outperform their sales goals, managers will get a revenue share bonus from the upside, with the percentage increasing based on their tenure in the business. Managers can also continue to receive equity in the company based on their performance. Base salary increases will go into effect in Q1 of 2027, while head coaches will start to receive bonuses based on store performance on a quarterly basis from Jan. 1, 2027, according to Sweetgreen. Higher labor and related costs cut into Sweetgreen’s earnings for the quarter ending in June, accounting for 29% of revenue, up from 28% the year prior. Chipotle announced in 2021 that workers in its highest general manager position could earn $100,000, on average, as it sought to hang onto workers in a tight labor market.
