An illegally constructed building containing six garment factories collapsed in Bangladesh, killing approximately 800 workers. The building owners ignored warnings about structural cracks from local authorities, refusing to evacuate the factories. In response, labor unions are calling on clothing brands, suppliers, and the Bangladeshi government to improve safety standards and ensure compensation for victims to prevent future tragedies. Weak regulations, corruption, and lack of enforcement allow building owners and factory operators to ignore safety issues. International corporations have a responsibility to ensure proper working conditions and oversight throughout their global supply chains.
