Garment workers in Bangladesh factories work in wretched conditions and do not get paid as per rules after day long slog.
Besides, more than 95 percent of the workers are not given any bonus.
Infact, when an accident occurs in the factory, the workers are made to pay up even if it is not their fault.
Further, if a worker arrives just five minutes late, he is not paid the day's wage and is forced to work withoput any compensation.
One story goes that a worker paid for his life for a mere genji (inner cotton vest), he allegedly stole.
Whatever the conditions, the workers have to toil hard to earn the meager salary.
Labour has become extremely cheap in poor countries, which has tempted many big international MNCs to shift their production to regions like Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, India and even China.
