A deadly factory fire in Bangladesh highlights workers rights around the world.

It is time that western companies take responsibility for management's abuse
of labor rights in countries they import from. What do you think?

Grim humor. Sometimes it's all I got. :(

Thank you for caring Steve. I wonder how much the average American consumer cares?

I been buying my clothes second hand. Sometimes I can find a shirt made by union labor 8)

I wouldn't be at all suprised if Wal-Mart had a fire sale from Bangladesh. Yeah, sardonic humor is a way to fight the disaster toll. Thanks for the post, Still Trucking. I guess I'm
just a "bleeding heart" liberal.

Hey, I really feel for those folks families. :(
I remember reading about mill fires back early last century in this country. Even more recently, near Philadelphia, TN, there was a chemical factory explosion. So, it happens here in factories & on oil drilling platforms... :( It is a rare occurence but it still happens. :roll:
