In Bangladesh, a massive fire at a sweater factory has renewed concerns over labor conditions. The factory supplied Western retailers H&M and J.C. Penney. The blaze injured at least four people, but most of the factory’s more than 6,000 workers had not yet arrived to work. In 2013, a factory collapse in Bangladesh killed over 1,100 people.
