Bangladeshi clothing factories crushed a week-long strike and protest with the help of thugs. They fired 1500 workers and blacklisted them. This is "free trade" at work.

The article calls this a "blow" to the Bangladeshi clothing industry, but I disagree, because it appears to me that the bad guys won. (Nonetheless, it was a good try!)

A real blow to the industry will be if the workers win.
