Factory Fire

The factory fire that occurred in Bangladesh is truly a tragedy.  112 workers were killed after being forced to continue working during a fire.  I think it is not only the companies and the governments responsibility, but also our responsibility to make sure we are using products that were made justly.  Some of the workers in Bangladesh work long hours and receive little pay.  I think all of the workers should at least be paid an amount set by the government.  It is the governments job to make sure workers are being treated with respect.  These people working in Bangladesh aren't even making enough to support themselves.  The government must be aware of this and they need to take action to solve this problem.   If huge companies such as Walmart and Sears are not going to make sure the factories in which their products are being produced are safe, then we as Americans need to stop buying from these companies.  If Americans boycott Walmart and Sears products, they will be forced to make sure working conditions are safe and workers are being paid a fair amount.  Some of these companies are so set on making a profit, they are forgetting what is actually just.  Unfortunately I don't think the entire American population is going to take a stance against this issue because it does not effect us directly.  I would like to think that by publicizing this issue more will want to help those workers in Bangladesh.
