< p > Bangladesh < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a > the workers' protest started from last year's clothing factory disaster. At the end of April this year, a 8 storey building in the suburb of Dhaka, Bangladesh, collapsed, causing many people to be buried, and more than 1000 people died. The public opinion has not receded from the Tazreen clothing factory fire that caused the death of 121 people in November last year. Bangladesh also suffered the tragedy of the collapse of the garment factory building. The focus of the international community once again turned to this garment producing country, the garment factory which was in disregard of personal safety and the clothing brand of Wei Li. < /p >
< p > labor organization Industri ALL Global Union strongly supported the protest. The ILO Industri ALL Global Union Secretary General Jyrki Raina said that this is the worker's "reasonable request", and the second largest garment manufacturers in the world, also supported by the protest of the workers, said in a Bloomberg email interview, the spokesman said: "Bangladesh is strongly supporting workers to get higher wages." Bangladesh is an important purchasing market. We and other companies have urged local governments to improve the minimum wage of garment workers on various occasions and make amendments every year. < /p >
Abdus Salam Murshedy, chairman of the Bangladesh exporter Association, said that he led the negotiations. In September 17th, the local government departments and labor leaders and factory owners held a three party talks. The result agreed to raise the minimum wage of 3000 tucas per month by 600 Taka, which raised the minimum 8114 Taka cards to 104 dollars, compared with the protest workers' demands. According to the data released by Japan's foreign trade association in December, the average annual wage of a garment factory in Bangladesh is only 1478 dollars, while that of India is 4577 dollars, almost three times that of Bangladesh. < /p >
In connection with the safety problems in Bangladesh's clothing factories, workers have been trying to reach agreement with European and American retailers. The first and second largest a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing /a /a retailers Zara parent Inditex SA (ITX.MC) and the parent company of P have already indicated their willingness to sign the contract. Subsequently, the North American retailers have "Messi" department stores, and the "href=", "European Union retailers", including European, retail, retail, retail, retail, trade, marketing, etc. < p < /p >
The US group, led by Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) and Gap Inc (GPS.N), tends to set up its own plan. The 17 North American retailers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc (Inc) and P, launched the 5 year security plan of Bangladesh in early July, including the inspection of all Bangladesh suppliers' safety problems within one year, while retailers spent $42 million to build a foundation to implement the plan. < /p >
The US $p $42 million fund is based on the size of US retailers in Bangladesh, and US $1 million is the benchmark fund that every retailer needs to pay. 10% of the fund will be used to subsidize workers who have lost their jobs or have no fixed place due to safety reasons. In addition, we will draw a single fund to support NGO of a related project. < /p >
< p > however, from the present point of view, the safety and treatment of workers in Bangladesh garment industry is obviously far from being solved. < /p >
