[10] Three years later, NGWF, together with the Alternative Movement for Resources and Freedom Society, conducted a survey that found the average monthly expenditure of working families was 4 times as high as the 2010 minimum wage.
[12] In an interview, Amin said the prize was a recognition of Bangladesh's trade union and garment workers' movement and a show of respect for the dead of the 2005 and 2012 disasters.
[13] In June 2016, the factory of Bangladeshi garment company Tejgaon Textile was closed down after a Bangladesh Accord inspection had identified major structural faults in the building.
NGWF organised protests and filed a complaint at the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), following which compensation and an Eid bonus were paid out.
NGWF President Amin was present when State Minister of Labour Mujibul Haque publicly announced the agreement while describing the detained protestors as "vandals".
After eight days of protests, including workers burning vehicles and blocking roads as well as police using tear gas shells and water cannons, the minimum wage was modestly increased.
[20][21] In October, the representative of IndustriALL Bangladesh Council, with which NGWF is affiliated, resigned from a tripartite committee formed with the government and BGMEA to review labour rules.
