And so it continues.....

Here is a link to a report from CBS news about a factory in Bangladesh. Walmart, Asics and Wrangler products are in the factory at the time of the investigation. There seems to be plenty evidence to suggest that child labor is being used, as well as many serious health and safety issues, including blocked fire exits.
If you are working in Bangladesh, or you are considering moving production there, you really need to see this. Mind you, I am not sure it will make any difference. This sort of stuff has been going on for years. As the old adage goes, "If things don't change, they'll stay the same."

Maybe it is time to really address why that might be, before your products are visible in one of these documentaries. Become engaged, look at root causes.
This is only going to get worse unless companies seek to understand their role in non compliance.
