world news agencies are going to happy with this one. Global Epidemic, Manufacturing shop collapsing worldwide, maybe we should sure our cheap labor is somewhat safe
Very sad news...these factory workers are paid absolute peanuts and are putting their lives at risk to manufacture products that are then sold in the western world at extortianate prices.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

Apparently making these places safe would increase the cost of garments by about 25c per T-shirt.
Walmart and one other monkey organisation have refused to sign a formal agreement.
Lovely people.

The Khmer press is now saying two dead and three injured. One of these pieces of junk collapsed about three months ago whilst still under construction if I remember correctly.

Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard.

No, coming from the BBC and various other news sources.
You do not have to attempt to defend every indefensible, shitty, gouging practice by your countrymen that ends in misery and pain for innocent people by trying to focus on a non-event.
Jesus, can you not even see how brainwashed you are?
I pay $6 return from my new place to the riverside, by tuk-tuk, I think it's fair. If the petrol price rises, I'll accept a proportional increase, btw.
mini-rant over.

Fact is that if most buyers weren't such cheap shits looking for 2-Dollar shirts and 10-Dollar jeans, things like that would not be in the news all the time. Not that they stay there for long; the over 1,000 dead in Bangladesh were off the front page in a hurry. Back to business as usual, I guess.

According to The Phnom Penh Post, workers from the factory already protested poor working conditions and pay in March when they stopped working and blocked a main road.
