Sommilito Garments Sramik Federation (SGSF)

The Sommilito Garments Sramik Federation (SGSF) is one of the largest and most prominent trade union federations in Bangladesh, representing over 60,000 to 100,000 workers in the country's ready-made garment (RMG) sector.
The federation is affiliated with global labor organizations like IndustriALL Global Union and Mondiaal FNV.

The SGSF is known for its active role in organizing workers, negotiating for better conditions, and representing its members on national and international platforms.

The federation has been successful in signing CBAs with factory management. It has over 50 affiliated trade unions and has signed at least 10 CBAs, including a notable one with Hop Lun (BD) Ltd in January 2025 and another with Donglian Fashion in April 2026. The Hop Lun agreement included provisions for wage increments, attendance bonuses, and comprehensive maternal and childcare benefits, highlighting the federation's focus on gender equity.
