flag Dockworkers in Bangladesh strike over government plan to lease port terminals to foreign firms.

flag Dockworkers at Chattogram Port, Bangladesh’s largest and vital for its garment exports, intensified a strike on November 1, 2025, protesting the interim government’s plan to lease key terminals to foreign firms, including UAE’s DP World and Denmark’s A.P. flag Moller–Maersk. flag The protest, growing to about 200 workers, reflects concerns over job security, the legitimacy of the interim administration, and national control over strategic infrastructure. flag The government aims to finalize agreements by December to boost efficiency and attract investment, but critics warn the move could undermine sovereignty and lead to workforce restructuring. flag The port remains central to Bangladesh’s trade and global supply chains.
