Labor groups and others were already trying to pressure other big brands, including Walmart and Gap, to sign onto the agreement. “We call on these companies to do the right thing on behalf of the more than 1,250 textile workers killed in Bangladesh factory disasters in the last six months, including Rana Plaza, where the tragedy is still unfolding,” said Philip J.

"Sometimes it takes a tragedy of enormous proportions, such as the building collapse in Bangladesh last month, to bestir the conscience of multinational corporates and brand-labels that profit from low-wage sweatshop culture. But sometimes, even such a tragedy isn’t quite enough. In response to the building collapse that, when rescue workers called off their operations on Monday, had claimed 1,127 lives, international brand-labels – from the Swedish retailer H&M (the largest apparel buyer in Bangladesh) to Zara (considered the third-largest buyer) to Tesco and Primark – signed on to a plan to improve working conditions in the sweatshops that pass for garment factories in the country. The proposed measures include plans for building safety and fire safety, for which the retailers will contribute funds. The five-year Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh envisages independent safety inspections and commits companies to publicly report the findings. Companies that sign on for the plan must not do business with factories that refuse to make the necessary safety upgrades."
The agreement was formalised at the initiative of global and Bangladeshi labour unions and was backed by NGOs campaigning for workers’ rights, including the Worker Rights Consortium, based in Washington, and IndustriALL Global Union and UNI Global Union, which represent workers in 140 countries.
