Cabinet Secretary Mohammad Shafiul Alam said after Monday's regular Cabinet meeting that the government lauded the decision.
Replying to a mediaperson's query, he, however, said that according to the RMG workers' wage board provisions, the time for a pay-revision is still some time away.
On Dec 12, workers of two readymade garment factories in the industrial hub on the outskirts of Dhaka enforced a strike for a 16-point charter of demand, including a minimum Tk 16,000 in monthly wages.
The workers clashed with police during their demonstration and allegedly went on the rampage inside the factories.
On Monday, Cabinet Secretary Alam said the government welcomed the move. "The closure would cost us millions and pose problems for both the owners and workers."
Asked whether the Cabinet discussed on a revising workers' wage, Alam said there are provisions to revise and update it in the existing pay structure.
"The stage for that process (revision) is yet to come," he clarified.
The minimum wage was raised to Tk 5,300 for the last time in November 2013.
