Fresh clashes between police and garment workers forced 679 factories to suspend production in Bangladesh, disrupting supply chains for global brands like HENNES & MAURITZ AB-B SHS. The unrest follows a brief resumption of operations on Monday after a widespread shutdown over wage demands. The apparel sector accounts for 10% of economic output and over 80% of export earnings in the South Asian nation.
