The ILO chaired Arrangement under which the Donor Trust Fund is operated has already begun the process of registering claimants. Jyrki Raina, of IndustriALL Global Union says “The needs of the workers who survived this catastrophe and the families of those who did not are in desperate need.
The last year has seen medical expenses, lack of income and the horrors of that day relived. The brands can show that they can be part of the solution – but only if they pay up. When in two weeks’ time the world asks all of us what we have done in response to the Rana Plaza disaster a year ago, do they want to say they have failed the victims? ”
As the countdown to April 24th begins, actions are planned by trade unions and NGOs across Asia, Europe and North America, jointly with allies International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF), United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) and Maquila Solidarity Network (MSN).
