"Bangladesh Garment Worker Protests Paralyze Top Fashion Brands' Production"

Garment workers in Bangladesh have been protesting for higher wages, leading to production halts for top fashion brands such as Levi's and H&M. The protests have resulted in the ransacking of factories and the temporary closure of hundreds of others. The garment factories in Bangladesh account for a significant portion of the country's exports, but the majority of workers face dire conditions and low wages. The protests have left two workers dead and dozens injured, with demands for a near-tripling of their wages.
