Employees of Sanofi Bangladesh Limited on Monday issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the company's country chair and managing director for holding talks with the staff about their compensation demand.

In a press briefing at Dhaka Reporters Unity today (Monday), the pharmaceutical giant's staffers said they would hold a human chain on October 24 (Thursday) if the company does not respond accordingly.

The employees under the banner of Sanofi Bangladesh Employees Welfare Council also warned of tougher programme in the coming days on failure to respond to their call.

Sanofi staffers have been demanding compensation and other financial benefits since September 14 when the report of Sanofi's exit plan was published in some news portals.
