on the
bangladesh
the bangladeshi of factory
that collapsed five thousand workers were working there
the number of of dead to has risen above eleven hundred people
one story the other day of the woman who was i guess it in varied from most uh...
almost three weeks
state found her life
horrible horrible
situation bangladesh
to the extent that there is any upshot to this
bangladeshis government agreed on monday to allow the country's garment workers
according to the a_p_ to form trade unions without prior permission from
factory owners
bangladeshi freedoms is withering away and i think indeed
the cabinet decision came the day after the government has a plan to raise the
minimum wage for garment workers
who are some of the lowest paid in the entire world
the all block required workers to get permission
from their bosses to form a union
i can imagine that uh... provides for many opportunities to unionize
uh...
the two thousand six ally that previously existed allowed you trade
unions to exist
uh... but
none of the garment factories ever a lack of them
uh... because it would have inhibited the uh... or
into period it with the
discipline
of their workers
so
in many respects what happened in bangladesh has become their uh...
they're trying to assure ways factory fire
an incident that is now provided for
another outrage it must be in bangladesh to
to force
the
allowance of unions
and it's another example of the dynamic of unions relative to a government
just like corporations cannot exist
and receive benefits that helped maintain them and grow them
and allow them to function nor can unions exist
without that same help from government
and in this country we give far more support
for the corporation
then we do for unions
which is why you have been seeing the decline of unionized ation in this
country
una
very much so in the private sector
