 You have to affirm that you're able to work and that you're actively seeking employment

Officials say thousands of workers first blocked one of the city's key link roads and then started attacking several cars in a factory district.

More than three million people, mostly women, work in Bangladesh's garment industry, which is a key sector of the country's economy.
