Bangladesh garment workers have set fire to parts of a factory outside Dhaka in a second day of protests over wages.
Production at around 200 garment factories in Ashulia, on the outskirts of the capital, was suspended for the day after workers clashed with police.
At least 50 workers were injured during the clashes in the area.
The present minimum monthly wage of $38 (€28) is around half that of rival Asian exporters Vietnam and Cambodia.
According to International Labour Organisation data from August, the rate is just over a quarter of the rate in top exporter China.
Police also fired tear gas to disperse stone-throwing demonstrators in the Ashulia industrial belt, which accounts for nearly 20% of total garment exports.
Garment factory staff went on strike over wages for six days in September, hitting production at almost 20% of the country's 3,200 factories.
The strikes followed similar protests over the summer.
The new protest coincided with a four-day nationwide strike led by the main opposition party demanding next year's election take place under a non-partisan government.
The impasse between the ruling party and opposition over election rules is a fresh threat to Bangladesh's $22 billion garment export industry.
The garment industry is the economic lifeblood of the impoverished country of 160 million, employing around 4m people, mostly women.
The industry, which supplies many Western brands, has already been under the spotlight after major accidents, including the collapse of a building housing factories in April that killed more than 1,130 people.
Rock-bottom wages and trade deals with Western countries have helped make Bangladesh the world's second-largest apparel exporter after China, with 60% of its clothes going to Europe and 23% to the United States.
