It is almost two years ago that the single greatest industrial massacre in the world occurred in Dhaka, Bangladesh when the Rana Plaza building collapsed. The building housed a number of textile factories and over 1,100 garment workers were killed in the collapse. Hundreds more were injured. Compensation payments to the relatives of the dead and the survivors have been slow in coming while the factory owners and the builders of Rana Plana are yet to face trial for their crimes. Vigils worldwide will be held, including Melbourne Victoria, to remember the dead and to demand justice.
