║ ║
║ Australians love a bargain, but what's the real cost of cheap ║
║ clothes from the sweat shops in Bangladesh? On 24th April this year ║
║ more than a thousand people were killed when an eight storey ║
║ building collapsed in the heart of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka. ║
║ ║
║ The collapse of Rana Plaza turned the world's attention to the ║
║ shocking conditions workers in the country's clothing industry are ║
║ forced to endure. In recent years, Australian companies have flooded ║
║ into Bangladesh to take advantage of lax labour laws and the lowest ║
║ wages in the world, paid to the predominantly young, female workers ║
║ in the factories. ║
║ ║
║ Next on Four Corners reporter Sarah Ferguson sets out to find where ║
║ the clothes we see in our major retail outlets are made. What ║
║ efforts do Australian companies make to ensure the factories are ║
║ safe and their workers earn a living wage? Australian retailers ║
║ blocked our enquiries at every turn, refusing access to factories ║
║ wherever we went. Working backwards from some of our best known ║
║ retail outlets, Four Corners goes factory to factory showing workers ║
║ and union organisers Australian labels until the factories are ║
║ found. There the workers describe a miserable existence, long hours, ║
║ pitiful pay and abuse if deadlines aren't met. In some of the worst ║
║ cases there is even violence and threats of jail: ║
║ ║
║ "Workers are being arrested, beaten, tortured ... you know, sexual ║
║ harassment, just on and on and on. This was a miserable sweatshop." ║
║ ║
║ Why would Australian retailers allow their brands to be associated ║
║ with such activities? In Bangladesh, it's all about price. Local ║
║ factory owners claim they are squeezed so hard by retailers they ║
║ simply can't afford to ensure their factories safe. The explanation ║
║ is simple according to one European buyer: ║
║ ║
║ "It's price, price, price, price, price and profit". ║
