It has been over three years since the fire at the Ali Enterprises garment factory fire in Baldia town, Karachi that killed over 250 of its workers. The fire was a direct result of the owners’ total disregard for the health and safety of its workers. This week, rallies were held in many cities around Pakistan calling for the owners to be brought to justice and for compensation to be paid out. A coalition of labour and community groups have put forward a set of demands attacking both the companies involved and the Pakistani government for their failures over the last three and a half years.
