Bangladesh Building Collapse Inaction

FILE – In this Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012 file photo, Bangladeshi garment workers produce clothing at a factory on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. As Bangladesh reels from the deaths of hundreds of garment workers in a building that collapsed Wednesday, April 24, 2013, the refusal of global retailers to pay for strict nationwide factory inspections is bringing renewed scrutiny to an industry that has profited from a country notorious for its hazardous workplaces and subsistence level wages. After the Tazreen factory fire killed 112 garment workers in November 2012, clothing brands and retailers continued to reject a union-sponsored proposal to improve safety throughout Bangladesh’s $20 billion garment industry.
