< p > > a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > H&M < /a > is the second largest clothing retailer in the world. In April this year, the collapse of a garment factory building in Bangladesh killed 1129 people.

After the tragedy, there was a great stir in international public opinion. Many people criticized Western famous clothing enterprises for purchasing clothes and making profits from factories in Bangladesh and other Asian countries, regardless of the poor living conditions and low wages of factory workers.

For this reason, the well-known a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > clothing brand < /a > H&M promises to pay 850 thousand textile and garment workers the minimum wage (living wage).

Now let's learn more about it.

< /p >

< p > the world's second largest a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > clothing giant /a H&M H&M also purchased clothes from Bangladesh factories, but its cooperative factories had nothing to do with the collapsed factories. Even so, after the tragedy, H&M became the first international clothing company to sign the safety production agreement of Bangladesh clothing factory.

Not only that, H&M recently promised to take the initiative to raise money to support foundries to raise workers' wages.

H&M is a great company. According to normal business thinking, these garment workers only have employment relationship with the factories, and have no direct relationship with H&M. H&M does not need to undertake any legal obligation to these workers. However, H&M stands at the height of humanitarianism and gives aid to these workers. What is even more valuable is that it not only stays on the harsh criticism and pressure of public opinion, but raises the money of white flowers to raise workers' income.

< p > British report: in April this year, Bangladesh costumes took place in the "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "factory collapse" < /a > tragedy, thousands of deaths.

Then Bangladesh clothing workers launched a strike demanding that the government take measures to raise wages and improve working conditions, but the government failed to take sufficient action.

To this end, H&M, a well-known clothing brand, promised to pay living wage to 850 thousand textile and garment workers.

< /p >

< p > H&M is the second largest clothing retailer in the world.

H&M said recently that it will support two garment factories in Bangladesh and Kampuchea next year to provide workers with minimum living wage.

< /p >

< p > H&M has a large business scale, and there are only two hundred clothing stores in the UK alone.

H&M decided to expand the implementation of this "minimum living wage plan" to 750 factories supplying clothing to them around 2018.

< /p >

< p > H&M said that raising the minimum wage level of clothing production countries often depends on the government, but it takes a long time for the government to take practical actions. Therefore, H&M takes the lead in taking actions to improve the survival of the garment workers, and hopes other industries will take similar actions.

(P) since the collapse of the Bangladesh clothing factory in April of this year, 1129 people have died. The difficult situation of clothing and textile workers in developing countries has aroused the concern of the international community. The international community has put the plan to solve this problem on the agenda.

< /p >

P H&M does import clothing from Bangladesh, but has nothing to do with the clothing factories inside the collapsed building. Even so, H&M is the first company to sign a safety agreement in Bangladesh clothing factory after the accident.

< /p >

< p > H&M indicated that because of the different conditions of different countries and factories, the company supported the "consultative minimum living wage" for clothing and textile workers, which was enough to maintain the most basic life of workers, so H&M would not give specific wage figures.

At the same time, H&M said that paying more wages to workers would not push up the price of clothes sold by H&M.

< /p >

"We are willing to pay more money," said the head of P H&M, "so clothing suppliers can pay higher wages for workers.

This plan will be implemented under the framework of H&M and suppliers.

< /p >

Most of the garments sold under P > H&M are manufactured in Asian factories, and quite a few of them come from < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > Bangladesh factory < /a >.

The textile and clothing industry is an important economic pillar of Bangladesh, so the Bangladesh government is often reluctant to stand up to represent its workers and international giants.

< /p >

< p > analysts say the decision of H&M is inspiring. This means that "a href=" http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp "international famous clothing brand" /a "is willing to pay part of the wages for factory workers.

But H&M had better set a specific wage level to restrain the factory owner from paying wages to the workers, and at the same time, he should also follow up and supervise the negotiations between the factory owners and the workers, so as to ensure that the "minimum living wage" is implemented.
