Bangladesh Garment Workers Protest Factory Closures Over Unpaid Wages
Workers in Bangladesh, who make clothes, are very upset because their factories are closing and they haven't been paid their wages.
They blocked a big road called the Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway to show how angry they are.
They want their money from July and don't want their factories to move.
The factory owner says they are having money problems, so they shut down the factory.
These kinds of protests have been happening a lot lately, and some workers have even been hurt.
