The horrific fire at the Ali Enterprises garment factory in Karachi where almost 300 workers were killed was only the most recent example of where company sponsored safety regulations are a criminal joke. A leading fashion company, GAP, is now backtracking on its commitment to allow workers to oversee and have an input in the fire safety program of its sub-contracting companies. GAP now wants to implement its own corporate-controlled, fire safety program, free from workers input. This is a recipe for more fires, and more deaths.
