The appalling exploitation of garment workers in Bangladesh has been reported on extensively before (see here, here and here). Nevertheless, companies continue to want to increase their profits by cutting wages and conditions. Another tactic is to close a factory after a big order and not pay months of workers’ wages. Hundreds of workers from two factories in Dhaka are undertaking ongoing protest actions to fight for their wages. A solidarity protest has been called in Melbourne outside the global company Aldi for Tuesday 21 July at lunchtime.
