Retailers Pressed to Compensate Bangladesh Victims

Global labor rights activists are calling on Western brands to provide fair compensation for hundreds of Bangladeshi garment factory workers killed or seriously injured in last week's building collapse. The official death toll from the collapse of the Rana Plaza, which housed five garment factories that produced millions of shirts, pants and leggings for big Western retailers, has now exceeded 430, with hundreds more suffering lost limbs, broken bones, internal damage and other serious injuries.
