I feel realy SAD and MAD,for these hard workers ladys,I live in U.S.A. and I'm thinking seriously DON'T buy any more clothes of american brands,but I can't go to the street naked,so what can I do? make my own clothes? buy brands of other countries? how I can know what brands don't use child labor?or better said SLAVERY LABOR
People, it's not just clothing! Big companies look for countries in which they can pay the least amount of money to each worker. Direct tv, at&t, khols, etc,etc. It's evil from them as it is for each country which do not protect it's citizens!!
I really wish more people would realize this, they say they’ll boycott big clothing brands or buy second hand like that’ll stop the labor. No, majority of products are made from cheap labor.
If it is even 4 years earlier, this would be the report of reflected 1% of the factories, 99% of the factories was practicing good compliance and maintained COC. Now even you may see .001% of worst practice but truely now Bangladesh's garments practices should be the best in genre from entire wold i recon. I am a compliance Manager and truly it has changed a lot and now workers are getting on an average 10000 Taka per month. In addition, they are getting 500 Tk Attendance bonus, 400 Taka Transport bonus, 1500 Taka incentives if you calculate, Free lunch all together it should cross 13000 Taka... But unfortunately customers are repeatedly offering less price even for the best LEED, ISO, BSCI, SEDEX, OEKOTEX, ICS, WRAP certified factories.
This isn't Walmart's fault. Is Walmart supposed to have engineers go in and make sure the buildings are safe? It sounds like the Bangladesh government dosen't care about its citizens and needs to enforce building codes.
First comment!!!!!!!! Yaaaas my life long dream comes true... i would first of all like to thank my mom and dad for being supporting, my friends tom and uncle bill especially i will now spend the remainder of my life in hybernation.
This all makes the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in NYC in 1911 which killed 146, look like a Saturday Afternoon picnic... The meaning behind it is the same, though... A sweatshop, poor safety conditions, and underpaid garment workers making clothes for big money companies looking to cut their production costs...
It's incredible how MNC's only value the generation of capital no matter the repercussions. In my mind it is impossible to treat human beings as if they were mere instruments, as if the burning of thousands is just a collateral damage. Really makes you wonder the self called social responsible corporations and all the inconceivable things they make when the public eye is not watching.
It’s pretty ridiculous that 3 out of the top ten wealthiest people in the world are Waltons> THREE< And Walmart cant afford to track down where their shit is coming from or build proper facilities for thier suppliers and subcontractors??

you are totally false bcz you have no idea about salary
Thank you for sharing! It is a sad story!
I have never seen a better convincing expose like this. But my hearts stalls at what can we really do about this to create that change!
so there are to many agents and Walmart even can not grasp the whole view of the production
I am Mexican American but after watching this I will no longer shop there ever! And I will share this as much as possible!
Thank you Sister.
