It’s April 24, 2015, two years ago today the Rana Plaza Factory collapsed in Bangladesh killing 1133 workers and injuring thousands more. Today is a reminder. How can you help? Check out their site!

Linda, thanks for the reminder. A (former) friend was on the board of directors for a clothing company. They moved their factory from Pakistan to Bangladesh because it was cheaper. Instead of paying workers 52 cents/ hour, they paid them 24 cents. Unbelievably exploitive.
That’s a terribly sad story! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the reminder! We need to remember this tragedy to prevent another one.
I agree!
Thanks for posting this. It’s great that we can all educate each other.
Yes, sorry I don’t mean to preach… It’s just a story (Bangladesh) that stuck in my head!
I didn’t want to “like” this post, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not extremely appreciative of your reminding me. This was a terrible, preventable tragedy. I hope the world is working to prevent another one.
Thank you.

Yes, I agree! I am not an expert in world affairs, economics, etc. but what is obvious is people must not be exploited, they must be kept safe!
