Production was suspended at around 690 garment factories in Bangladesh on the day the report was published, according to the information cited in the article. The labour protests included roadblocks that hampered the movement of export cargo from factories in Dhaka to the port of Chittagong.
Shippers face missed sailings and mounting pressure on delivery schedules, the report says. The disruption works on two fronts: factories may struggle to complete orders on time, and finished goods may not reach vessels as planned.
