Nu har det g\u00e5tt ett halv\u00e5r sedan en j\u00e4ttelik textilfabrik i Bangladesh rasade ihop — och har det blivit b\u00e4ttre f\u00f6r textilindustriarbetarna i v\u00e4rlden?<\/p>\n

Dags att g\u00f6ra n\u00e5got?<\/p>\n

Sedan n\u00e5gra dagar, och n\u00e5gra dagar till, p\u00e5g\u00e5r en kampanj, Clean Clothes Campaign<\/a>,\u00a0d\u00e4r vanliga m\u00e4nniskor (alla har vi ju kl\u00e4der p\u00e5 oss) skriver s\u00e5h\u00e4r till de stora kl\u00e4df\u00f6retagen:<\/p>\n

Dear\u00a0[namn], <\/em><\/p>\n

I am very concerned to hear from the Clean Clothes Campaign that over six months after the deadly fire at Tazreen and more than two months after the building collapse of Rana Plaza in Bangladesh, the families of the 1239 dead workers and estimated 2600 injured workers victims are still waiting for full and fair compensation. This is too long for people to wait to be compensated. <\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t lag behind. Take the initiative and engage with trade unions to pay immediate relief and full and fair long term compensation for all the victims of the Tazreen fire and\/or Rana Plaza building collapse. You should commit to paying compensation in a transparent and agreed upon process on the basis of international standards and best practices in Bangladesh covering loss of future earnings as well as damages, medical care and rehabilitation and educational fees for children of the deceased workers.<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to pay. Victims should not suffer any more.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yours sincerely,<\/em><\/p>\n

No More Broken Promises: demand compensation for fire and collapse survivors<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 24th April 2013, the floors and walls of the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh came down<\/a>, crushing over one thousand people to death. This was just five months after the Tazreen factory fire that killed 112 and left bodies so scarred they could not be identified.<\/a><\/p>\n

These two recent horrific tragedies in Bangladeshi garment factories left an official death toll of 1239 people dead and thousands injured. These workers are owed compensation, but their debts are rising as brands fail to pay up. We’re telling brands: it\u2019s time to pay. Don\u2019t make the survivors suffer any more.<\/p>\n

We welcome brands\u2019 commitments to prevent further tragedies in Bangladesh factories by signing the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, but brands still need to pay compensation to workers.<\/p>\n

Loss of income is devastating for families that relied on garment workers\u2019 salaries. The stories of hardship are plenty. One woman told the media<\/a> her 15 year old grand-daughter had only been working in one of the Rana Plaza factories for a month or so when she was killed by the rubble. She said that she had not been able to get any assistance from anywhere: ”We are so poor, I don’t know where to go for help.”<\/em> Her granddaughter was, like many, the only member of her family who had work.<\/p>\n

Although many companies have made statements to say they will offer relief to victims, the majority of the families of the deceased Rana Plaza workers have not received any financial support at all. Both the Rana Plaza victims and the Tazreen victims have no guarantee that they will receive the full and fair compensation for the loss of earning they are facing, a right which is embedded in ILO standards. Read what brands are saying about compensation for Tazreen and Rana Plaza victims.<\/a><\/p>\n

The estimated long term compensation for Rana Plaza victims will be more than 54 million Euros (71 million USD). The compensation package for Tazreen victims has been calculated by the Bangladeshi trade unions, the global union IndustriALL and the CCC at 5.7 million US Dollars.\u00a0 These amounts are based on the calculation used by Bangladeshi and international trade unions after other tragedies and is based on ILO standards. Brands should pay 45% of the total amount, while the Bangladeshi government, the employers’ association in Bangladesh (BGMEA) and the employers should cover the remaining.<\/p>\n

CCC calls all brands that have had orders in Rana Plaza and Tazreen to:<\/p>\n
