New report from the Global Labor Rights

http://www.globallabourrights.org/reports?id=0656

The link above takes you to new allegations against Wal-mart and Disney, in the wake of the Bangladeshi fire that killed over 100 workers. This is a bit like the mass shootings at a school in Connecticut last week. We all wring our hands with sorrow when these events occur, but do little to prevent them from happening. Let me re-phrase that. We DO many things, but not many that are effective, and we do the same things over and over again, with little impact.
It is time to change.

Could this happen in one of your factories?
Don't know?

Maybe it is time to take a good look.

Here we go again

Here is a link to another story giving details of a blaze at a Bangladeshi apparel factory. This might be one of your factories. Do you know where your products are made?

Labor Compliance programs at your company are not just a nicety. They can help prevent tragedies like this from occuring. How many more deaths will it take to have your suppliers take ownership of compliance?
