Bangladesh: What can you do???

The ITUC asks two things from all their affiliates in the aftermath of one of the biggest workplace accidents the world has seen in many years:

1. BRIEF YOUR GOVERNMENTS

Make sure you write or meet with your government to inform them of the global agreement that global unions (ITUC; IndustriALL and UNI global union) and important NGOs (Clean Clothes Campaign and Workers Rights Consortium) have made together, which many of the biggest clothing brands in the world that are producing in Bangladesh have signed.

a) Ask your government to keep pushing the Bangladesh government to respect and implement this agreement.
b) Ask your government to ask all national brands that are sourcing from Bangladesh to sign up to the agreement too.
c) Ask your government to push the Bangladesh government to reform its laws consistent with ILO standards and effectively implement them.

2. PRESSSURE GAP & WALMART

Pressure Gap and Walmart to also sign on to the agreement. Two major American brands that have not yet signed up to the agreement – both were producing in the factory that collapsed.

Write them and ask them to take their responsibility and SIGN UP NOW!
