It has been six months since the collapse of the Rana Plaza building killed well over a 1,000 workers.
While there have been many meetings and documents produced since that day, the daily reality for most garment workers in Bangladesh has not changed. In addition, most families of the dead and injured workers from Rana Plaza have yet to receive compensation. Again, this shows that only when workers are able to organise independent unions will they be able to improve OHS and gain a living wage.
Only in the last week, the Australian Government barred a Bangladeshi unionist from travelling to Australia to meet and link up with other unionists.
