Justice for Bangladesh Garment Workers

Today, I have given support to the demand for the justice for the victims of the Bangladesh building collapse. There are reports of over 300 people being killed in the collapse of a building which housed garment factories making clothes for Primark, Matalan, Mango and other major brands.

It is essential that these UK high street clothing companies respond to this tragic loss of life by garment workers based in Bangladesh. They have to accept responsibility for this tragedy by paying full compensation to the workers and commit to action to ensure disasters like this become a thing of the past.
