May Day crack down in the Philippines

On the morning of 24 April 2013, over 1100 workers at Rana Plaza died when the building they worked in collapsed. The day before the building collapse, workers complained of clear cracks in the walls and refused to go to work because they feared for their safety. Every other business in Rana Plaza stopped work because of safety issues – these included banks and other retail outlets. But the 8000 garment workers were forced to go to work. On this week's APC, we remember Rana Plaza, 7 years on.Asia Pacific Currents provides updates of labour struggles and campaigns from the Asia Pacific region.
