Safety first

Apparently GAP, Walmart and Target doesn't seem to think so. In the wake of the poor safety standards and incident in Bangladesh, A large group of companies have gotten together to form the "Accord of Fire and Building safety". What this written agreement does is force companies to adhere to stronger safety standards. Now, your probably wondering why Walmart or GAP would be against this? Well they seem to think they can manage their own safety standards. This agreement would raise the legal liability if something was to happen. Apparently Walmart or Target doesn't like messing with their finnances. Well it may cost them more NOT to agree then to agree to it. Their insurance will most likely go up and their employee loyalty go done. NOT to mention customers loyalty. Who wants to be involved in a company that sets their own low standards for worker safety. It may be good for the company but not the worker who has to work in such poor safety conditions. Perhaps a boycot is in order. I am sure some one somewhere will organise one. If everyone stopped buying from Walmart just for a day, It would make quite an impact on their wallet.
