Bangladesh Fire
This holiday season while many shoppers are out to find the latest bargain to wrap in paper from the $0.99 Only Store and place under their tree, they may have forgotten about their fellow Americans who pleaded with them to stop the corporate greed and ask them to support them for a day off for Thanksgiving. Not many people supported the Wal-Mart employees who vowed to protest and picket the monster franchise due to low-wages, lack of benefits, and being open on Thanksgiving Day.
However, 112 people in Bangladesh have paid with their lives due to deplorable working conditions while making the cheap clothing for Wal-Mart stores, under the label Faded Glory. According to news reports, over 100 people were killed in the factory fire late Saturday night; 12 of those fatalities were a result of people jumping from the building, they later died of theirinjuries at the hospital.
