Apr. 12-13: Walmart: Pay Compensation to the Tazreen Fire Victims and Families!

Start: Friday, April 12, 2013 1:00 AM

Over 600 garment workers, mostly young women, have died in what could have been preventable factory fires since 2006 because Walmart and other major brands produce clothes in factories that they know are fire traps. Fight this horrendous abuse by joining the growing numbers of consumers working to hold Walmart, and other major retailers accountable for their failure to uphold labor rights throughout their supply chains. Walmart : We hold you accountable for the deaths of 112 workers in the Tazreen Factory Fire in November, 2012. We call on you to improve fire safety in Bangladesh and to stop blocking fire safety improvements. Join Bangladeshi garment workers, Walmart workers, community members, and religious leaders as we call on Walmart and the Gap to : 1. pay the compensation they owe to factory fire victims and 2.sign onto the Fire Safety Agreement to fix the death traps and support safe work places. Stand with workers and demand respect, dignity and safe workplaces for all, from the factory floor to warehouses to the retail store.
