The Ready Made Garments of Bangladesh at present occupy a rigid position in the national economy of Bangladesh. The sector has emerged with silent revolution, contributing economic development such as creating enormous employment, strengthening national GDP, decreasing child marriage, self- development through empowering women specially for the less privileged women. The sector exports various items with good quality and a good quantity throughout the world according to buyer’s demand. Hence, the prospects and possibilities of the sector are increasing day by day. But some unexpected impediments created by some owners of the industry, political instability, politicizing the industrial disputes by the local politicians, non co-operation from the part of the leaders of CBA and trade unions, which ultimately undermine the image of the sector and jeopardizes the economy of the country. The study has taken an attempt to identify the reasons for industrial disputes occurred throughout the country. Some reported incidents have been mentioned in this regard. The paper is also suggesting to the concerned authority to take the effective step and materialize the proposals which are proposed in the study at the end.
