On the 24th of April 2013, the Rana Plaza factory, an eight-store building collapsed in Bangladesh. Mohammed Shoel, the owner of this factory was approved to construct a five-store building, but added three more floors illegally. Mohammed was arrested with the engineers who helped him with the construction of this building. Apparently the building was in really bad conditions, which lead to the collapse of the construction and hundreds of deaths. The factory produced top international brands and it is said that there was poor working conditions; employees were paid twenty-five pounds monthly.
Primark a major retail store in the UK owned the second floor of the building. The company said they were going to pay compensation for all the victims and that they were going to provide financial aid for those injured.

Nevertheless, the big question is: Are retail stores fully aware of this? For example, Primark is known as a cheap retail store, which has been dealing with problems related with child labour. In my opinion companies like this one are aware of what is happening, but they fail to do anything about it because they are interested on meeting the consumers needs of buying cheap clothes and they also want to make profit. This retail stores often forget whether their company is being ethical or not.
