Find an article published within the last 90 days that relates to working conditions in the garment industry in Southeast Asia. Incorporate the information from this article into your essay.
Your assignment: Write an 800-1,000 word essay that responds to the following questions. In what ways is the Tazreen fire similar to the Triangle fire and in what ways does it differ? What responsibilities do governments and retailers (e.g. Walmart and Disney) have for worker safety? Should retailers be required to disclose to the public the conditions of their factories? As a consumer, what is your responsibility to the worker who produces the goods you buy? For instance, would you refuse to buy a retailer’s products if you know they were produced in a factory such as Triangle or Tazreen? Explain your answer and support your essay with evidence from the three articles.
