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.

In 2016, NCCWE took part in a project through which workers who were killed by accidents on their workplaces would receive 50,000 taka (~€487/$590) in compensation.

In 2018, NCCWE together with the IndustriALL Bangladesh Council formed the Workers' Resource Centre, an NGO dedicated to supporting unions and workers in Bangladesh.
