Mending a Toxic Supply Chain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2023
The Rana Plaza disaster did not happen as an isolated incident: it was just the latest and largest of a series of fatal incidents in the Bangladesh garments sector. This chapter seeks to locate why such deadly events were associated with the Bangladeshi sector and identifies the key obstacles to achieving meaningful worker representation. In addition, the chapter outlines the empirical context for the remainder of the book by outlining the key features of both the Bangladesh Accord for Fire and Building Safety and the JETI workplace social dialogue project.
