As reported last week, while facing continuing repression from companies and the Bangladeshi government, garment workers are continuing to organise. This week a large demonstration was held in Dhaka to demand immediate action from the 29 buyers of 5-RMG factories which where housed at the Rana Plaza, regarding compensation for the dead and injured workers. Ten months after the disaster that killed over 1,100 workers, no compensation has been paid to the injured or families of the deceased.
