History
Following the Rana Plaza collapse in 2013, NCCWE joined the Rana Plaza Coordination Committee, which had been formed to oversee payments to affected workers and their families.[4]
In 2016, NCCWE took part in a project through which workers who were killed by accidents on their workplaces would receive 50,000 taka ($630 as of 2016) in compensation.[5]
In 2018, NCCWE together with the IndustriALL Bangladesh Council formed the Workers' Resource Centre, an NGO dedicated to supporting unions and workers in Bangladesh.[6][7]
