Compensation to victims of Rana Plaza factory fire
mercredi 23 octobre 2013 à 14:00Big clothing companies still have not agreed to pay compensation to the victims of last December's Rana Plaza factory fire in Bangladesh.
We should not leave this up to those companies. We should make the company that imports the goods and/or commissions their production responsible for (1) keeping track of subcontractor in its supply chain, and (2) applying Western standards of working conditions to all of them.
The issue applies also to palm oil production.
