Why are Bangladeshi workers still dying preventable deaths?

Today marks eight years since one of the deadliest industrial disasters in modern history killed at least 1,132 workers and injured more than 2,500 others in our own backyard. The Rana Plaza collapse should have made us promise ourselves to never again allow any worker to die a preventable death as a result of a hazardous working conditions. Eight years later, this promise has been relatively well met in the case of RMG workers, largely as a result of the concerted efforts of the Bangladesh Accord. On the other hand, much less has happened to ensure the safety of workers in non-RMG and non-export oriented factories.
