Bangladesh Walkout: 80% of Bangladesh’s Garment Workers Walk Out Of Work Today To Protest Horrible Working Conditions, Effectively Shutting Down Garment Factories Indefinitely

Bangladesh’s entire renowned garment manufacturing hub has been shut down indefinitely, after 80% of its workers walked off the job. The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association announced its decision to close the almost 500 factories in the Ashulia industrial zone “to ensure the security of our factories,” the AFP reports. But the move was something of a fait accompli; almost no work had taken place there since the April 24 collapse of the nearby Rana Plaza building.

At the same time, three of the world’s biggest clothing purveyors—H&M, C&A, and Zara owner Inditex—signed a deal today legally obligating them to fund safety improvements for their Bangladesh factories, the New York Times reports. PVH, which owns Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Izod, which already had a similar contract in place, will also sign on. Meanwhile, search for victims at the Rana building is set to wrap up today, Reuters reports, with the latest death toll clocking in at 1,127 people.

Robert Reich: Working Mother's Day →

robertreich:

My mother went into paid work soon after my father’s clothing store was flooded out in a hurricane, almost wiping him out. She had no choice. We needed the money.

This was some two decades before a tidal wave of wives and mothers went into paid work.

For the few with four-year college degrees…

CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF INDIAN CINEMA- the Kapoors

“The Kapoor family is the oldest family of the Hindi film industry. For generations they have been connected and worked with films and theatre of India.With the arrival of Prithviraj Kapoor in Hindi cinema, began the Kapoor Dynasty which is into its fourth generation now and is still going strong. The legend and his three sons, Ranbir Raj Kapoor (Raj), Shamsher Raj Kapoor (Shammi) and Balbir Raj Kapoor(Shashi) have all been absolute charmers on screen. The Raj Kapoor legacy continued with Randhir (married to actress Babita), Rishi(married to actress Neetu Singh) and Rajeev Kapoor. Karishma and Kareena, daughters of Randhir Kapoor are the only two women from the Kapoor clan to have ventured into Bollywood. But the one on whose young shoulders, the Kapoor Legacy banks is the young man considered one of Bollywood’s finest contemporary actors - Ranbir Kapoor (named Ranbir Raj after his grand father).”. - Zeenews
