  8. Survivor found 17 days after Bangladesh garment factory collapse

    Workers clearing rubble from the scene of the multistory garment factory that collapsed in Bangladesh killing more than 1,000 workers at last count and injuring around 2,000 more found a woman alive and rescued her Friday, 17 days after the tragedy. The Associated Press reported she was found on the second floor; the New York Times said she was found in a Muslim prayer room in the basement of the building, which afforded her oxygen and enough space to stand up. In any event, she was uninjured, an official on the scene said, but taken to a hospital to be examined. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/world/worldnow/la-fg-wn-woman-found-alive-bangladesh-20130510,0,7834239.story">[AP via Los Angeles Times]</a>&nbsp; <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/11/world/asia/bangladesh-collapse-death-toll.html?hp&amp;_r=0">[NYT]</a>

  9. Bangladesh and its workers

    Another tragedy at a Bangladesh clothing factory, another announcement by Wal-Mart about additional steps it will take to beef up worker safety, this time by inspecting all of its suppliers' facilities itself. Not that the retailing giant hasn't made real efforts already to improve employee safety in notoriously bad factories overseas, but the deaths of more than 1,100 people at the Rana Plaza factory last month should signal that a piecemeal, go-it-alone approach is insufficient, even for the biggest retailer in the world.
