Events in Bangladesh last week illustrate the appalling consequences of trade unions not being able to speak up for workers' safety, says the TUC's Rosa Crawford. The collapse of Rana Plaza claimed an estimated 380 lives.

On Thursday's edition of BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight Programme, ETI Director Peter McAllister gave his reaction to the Savar factory collapse near Dhaka, Bangladesh. The interview also featured the Bangladesh Home Minister, Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir, who described the collapse as an accident.

ETI was horrified to learn of the collapse of the nine-storied Rana Plaza in Savar, Bangladesh this morning. At least 80 people are dead and 800 injured and this count is expected to rise.
