CASE
In 2013, a clothing factory in Bangladesh collapsed, killing 1,138 people.103
Some 27 global brands, including Walmart and Benetton, were using the factory.
One year on, these two corporations were among 22 of the 27 yet to contribute
toward a compensation fund created for this cause. Factories in developing
countries face similar problems all the time, but such instances may go
unreported. Bangladesh alone houses around 5,000 garment factories. Many of
these factories are converted to residential buildings, with no fire escapes or
alarms. The scale of the problem means reforms may well take time.
4. Do you think that corporations that outsource to developing countries have a
responsibility of care to the workers on those sites? (3)
5. What can be done globally to ensure that employees working under such
conditions are protected? (3)
