A labour court in Dhaka has summoned Grameen Bank founder Dr Muhammad Yunus and two others over sacking of three employees of Grameen Communications, IT wing of Grameen Bank, reports BSS. Dr Yunus is the chairman of Grameen Communications. The two others summoned by the court are Managing Director Naznin Sultana and Deputy General Manager Khandaker Abu Abedin.

Dhaka 3rd Labour Court asked the trio to appear before it on October 8 as the three former employees of Grameen Communications filed three criminal cases against Grameen Communications, its chairman Dr Muhammad Yunus, Managing Director Naznin Sultana, and Deputy General Manager Khandaker Abu Abedin.

The labour court came up with the order on July 10 but it came to light only on Saturday when the complainants made the revelation. “We had filed three separate cases for transferring us as part of harassment, issuing threats, and subsequently sacking for forming trade union. The court has summoned them to give their explanations,” Emranul Haque, one of the complainants, said.

Abdus Salam, Shah Alam and Emranul Haque, junior MIS Officers of Grameen Communications, were sacked last month (June) for their role in formation of trade union at their workplace.
