Cheap worker is helpful to minimize production cost that has increased customer’s attention. And so Bangladeshi RMR has captured the world market. But today the RMG sector is facing problems due to worker dissatisfaction. The workers are deprived of minimum facilities. That is why; they often become agitate that damages the image of RMG to abroad. The public opinion presents that if this situation is going on for a long time, Bangladesh will lose a valuable sector. To find out the real causes of worker dissatisfaction as well as public opinion, data has been collected through questionnaire and interview. Two sources are used for collecting data. The researchers used workers, owners, staffs and labor leaders as primary sources and different articles, newspaper and BGMEA website as secondary sources. The purpose of the study is to know the public notion about worker dissatisfaction. The researchers have represented the opinions of the respondents towards the worker’s dissatisfaction as well as it’s impact on RMG. The researchers have addressed the position of RMG in global market as well as the remarks of the global customers towards worker dissatisfaction. If the workers are given minimum facilities regularly and the labor union plays a decent role to build up a good relation between RMG manufacturers and workers, the unexpected problem like worker dissatisfaction will be removed and it will definitely lead the future economy.
