Just two months after the disastrous fire at the Tazreen factory where 112 garment workers died when their factory caught fire, another 7 workers were killed when the Smart factory caught fire on Saturday the 26 of January.

Once again, this tragedy shows the consequences behind the global ‘race to the bottom’ and the fundamental importance of workers organising in their workplace.
