Rana Plaza

- ‘loser’ of global shift

- Issue with outsourcing

2013, Bangladesh

  • Collapse of 8 storey commercial building → structural failure - earlier warnings were dismissed

  • Over 1,100 died

  • 29 brands eg. Primark, many companies refused to confirm they received garments from there until labels found in wreckage

Future change :

  • Prompted landmark agreement between brands + trade unions - worker safeguarding

  • TNCs expected to know full supply chain
