On Wednesday in Bangladesh a garment factory collapsed and killed at the very least 800 people. Many of the bodies had decomposed horribly and had to be sent in for DNA identification. This has caused many people to have the government act quickly to improve working conditions in Bangladesh. I wonder how bad that factories condition was before it collapsed; obviously if it collapsed it was in horrible condition, which I agree they should have better working conditions if buildings are collapsing on the workers and killing a majority of them.
I think that the government should get more involved if the conditions of work places are that bad, to the point where it kills almost a thousand people. I also think that that factory should have been shut down if it was not stable enough in the first place. If they were really that vital to the society they would have been able to afford better working conditions and a better building to work in for the people who worked there. Now they are dead because of some serious neglect on a lot of people’s part. I just don’t understand how anyone would let such a huge building get so bad, especially one that many people go in and out of every day, they should have just taken care of it and none of this would have happened and 800 families wouldn’t be suffering today. I don’t think that the government can and needs to fix everything but there should not be this much neglect to such a big building that over 1000 people go in and out of every day. 800 is a big number, too big if you ask me. There is no reason that these people should be dead right now. Bangladesh needs to get better working conditions for their people so they have no reoccurrence’s. (311)
