Labour Behind The Label

The real Asda price:
Poverty and abuse in George’s showcase factories

A textile factory in Chittagong, Bangladesh, burned to the ground last night with over a thousand workers locked inside.  While media reports put the death toll at close to 50, those workers who escaped fear it may be much higher.  Workers in the KTS Composite Textile Mill were working an impromptu night shift to meet a deadline and remained trapped in the locked building when fire broke out.
