Factory Fire


I think the biggest issue with the fire, other than the horrific deaths, is that the major companies didn't know they were even involved with this factory. The companies in America need to be more aware and conscience of where they get their products. They need to be more aware of how all of their workers are being treated, even if they are not on US soil. I think this tragedy will make everyone more aware of where our products are coming form, not just the companies but the customers as well. The huge corporations are defiantly at fault here because they should defiantly be aware of all imports for their company. I think the wages is a tricky thing though. The country the product is being produced in is in charge of its own economy. Different economies call for different wages what we consider living wages may not be the same in Bangladesh. That being said working conditions should always abide by human rights and should be the same everywhere. The government in Bangladesh should take immediate action to help the working class in their country.
