Hundreds of Bangladeshi garment workers, most of them women, have staged a massive hunger strike in the capital Dhaka to demand safer working conditions and better pay. A factory fire at a Bangladeshi plant that made goods for Wal-Mart killed at least 111 workers in November, marking the country’s worst industrial accident. The head of the National Garment Workers Federation, Amirul Haq Amin, condemned the retail giant.

Amirul Haq Amin: “It is already proved that for this devastating fire, the management and Wal-Mart, they are the responsible. In this fire, we actually lost 112 garment workers, who were our brothers and sisters. But unfortunately, ’til today, the management and Wal-Mart did not arrested by the government. So our demand is immediate arrest of the factory Wal-Mart, of Tazreen Fashion.”
