Grupos defensores de los derechos laborales reclaman condiciones de seguridad luego de que siete trabajadoras murieran en el incendio de una fábrica de Bangladesh

Seven people have died in the latest fire at a garment factory in Bangladesh. Witnesses say workers were forced to jump from windows to save themselves after managers locked an exit. The seven dead victims were all women and were reportedly crushed to death as they tried to escape. It was the latest deadly fire at a Bangladeshi garment factory since a blaze that killed at least 111 workers at a plant making goods for Wal-Mart in November. In a statement, a coalition of international labor rights groups called on major retailers to improve safety at garment factories, saying: After more than two decades of the apparel industry knowing about the risks to these workers, nothing substantial has changed.
