The need for the Bangladesh Accord persists 5 years after Rana Plaza

London - Although it has been nearly five years since the most deadly accident in the history of garment manufacturing took place - Rana Plaza - the need for brands and trade unions to take on the responsibility to improve the lives of millions of workers remains. A new report from the NYU Stren Centre for Business and Humans Rights concludes that “dangerous conditions” are still present in thousands of garment factories across Bangladesh, which is exactly why global labour organizations are demanding that all brands producing in Bangladesh sign the 2018 Transition Accord.
