Five month ago, a factory fire killed more than 1,100 factory workers in cut-price retailer Lidl in Bangladesh. It was recently found out that the fact of so many employees died was because of the abusing workers’ right.

The workers were forced to work 19 hours a day locked in the factory which caused them unable to escape when the fire began. The official claimed that workers only work for 10 hours per day, and they work over time to extend their holiday.

Is these really fair to the workers? They work over time but they do not get paid, and all the profits “they” earned go to the executives. Isn’t it the executive’s job to ensure that all the members get the maximum benefit? One of the worker claimed that he only earn 2 euros for his 19- hour work day. They did not get time to rest, and was locked in the factory which is against human right because people should have the right to decide where to go. In the end they were not able to escape because they cannot open the door.

This problem has to be solved since it is closely related to human life.
