As reported previously, it is only through being organsed that workers will be able to enforce safe working conditions and win a living wage. With the international spotlight fading on Bangladesh, the government is starting to crack down on garment workers to stop their attempts to organise. This comes at the same time that a report has exposed the criminal negligence by the owner of the Rana building, the managers of the factories and the non existent regulatory system to oversee the garment industry. Meanwhile in Pakistan, a rally organised by the National Trade Union of Pakistan also called for greater OHS standards, a living wage and the right to organise for garment workers in Pakistan.
