In the last few weeks, four workers were killed and others injured in a series of incidents at the Seiko Steel and Laskar shipbreaking yards. These horrific statistics are the direct results of the criminal neglect by employers of safe working conditions and the repression of independent trade unions. Unfortunately, these are not isolated incidents and the shipyards of Bangladesh have a horrific record in terms of death and injuries of workers. Only through determined organising by workers, will condition improve.
