This is a picture of the labor rights posted on the wall in the factory. The interesting thing you might notice about this is that they are written in English. They are posted more for the benefit of the inspectors who come to investigate factory conditions than they are for the workers themselves. We did see some small computer print-outs on the wall with labor rights written in Bangla, but even with our limited knowledge of written Bangla, we could tell that what was written in Bangla was different than what was written in English. For example, the English version says the workers’ minimum age is 18, but the Bangla version said it was 14. Posted by Picasa
