Death and disaster have again struck the garment industry in Bangladesh. On October 8 hundreds of workers were inside the Aswad Composite Mills factory when the fire broke out. Eight workers were killed and 50 were injured, some critically. Walmart and Gap are the chief clients. of this factory and despite the eloquent declarations in the wake of the building collapse that took so many lives. Walmart has low prices in the West because of execrable and dangerous working conditions in the East. Please join in the protest to the Walmart owners.
