Damn.

[dfwgator]

Guess they don’t have unions in Bangladesh.

[Irenic]

Horrible.

[ConservativeMind]

Truly sad to read.

[Bulwyf]

Terrible and terrifying way to go. I hope they publicly hang the people who locked them in.

[dfwgator]

and big international brands, which employ tens of thousands of low-paid workers in Bangladesh, have come under heavy pressure to improve factory conditions after fires and other disasters killed thousands of people

Ahh, the joys of globalism.

My first thought was “Nike”. I wonder how many of the dead were kids.

Shades of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory case...

[4yearlurker]

I remember a fire in the late 1980s down in the southern states I think. A factory making chicken nuggets caught fire and the exits were locked and blocked with dumpsters to prevent theft. Can't remember the name of the company.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Like the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.

[Tell It Right]

52 less people giving zakat (muslim tithe) to fund jihad.

[lewislynn]

He said the main exit of the factory was locked from the inside

NEVER USE double cylinder (keyed both sides) locks/dead bolts.

Dreadful. RIP to the victims.
