GTL’s Voice Against those Criticized
Points :
 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.
 Concluding Remarks:

 At the end of the Case Study we can see that,

this organization maintain international
standards. At a time they make profit without
violating employee’s rights. Here industrial
relations are highly emphasized. So we can
say that this organization can be a model
among all organizations in Bangladesh.
