primark - mass protests in<br />
bangladesh<br />
Workers of Fakir Knitwears Ltd. supplying to Primark and H&M<br />
protested to receive an advance of 50% of their May wages and<br />
bonuses before the Eid-ul-Fitr holiday on 24 May.<br />
The factory management promised to pay the wages on time, but<br />
instead filed false criminal charges of vandalism against 100-150<br />
workers of the factory, accusing them of damaging valuable factory<br />
property. In response, the police arrested two workers. In June,<br />
workers therefore continued to protest the arrest of their colleagues<br />
and demand their reinstatement.
