Garments sector in murky waters

Edit

What Bangladesh offers to global garment industry, other textile exporting nations do not: millions of skilled workers who can churn out huge amounts of good quality made-ups and apparel at seemingly lightning pace-and all for the lowest wages in the world.

But, since the twin disasters of the Tazreen fire and the Rana plaza collapse-the deadliest accidental structural failure in modern history-Bangladesh has gone from being the global textile industrys biggest darlings to one of its biggest liabilities.

With working conditions in Bangladeshs garment factories having already drawn out red flags from international buyers, many cited the collapse of the eight-storey building that housed several garment factories as the straw that would break the proverbial camels back.
