Update on the Garment factory collapse in Bangladesh

Read this article here and this article here. After reading the article, answer any 3 of the following questions.

1. When the incident first happened, the government said a 149 people were missing and presumed trapped inside. Since then, over 600 bodies have been pulled out of the building, with more being burned by a fire. If, heaven forbid, such an incident happened at our school, would you expect such an inaccuracy in knowing who was missing? Why or why not?

2. Joe Fresh makes clothes that can be bought at the Super-Valu nearby. Why would they make clothes in far off Bangladesh to sell in Winnipeg and other parts of North America?

3. Give your opinion of Joe Fresh's decision to stay making clothes in Bangladesh. Support your opinion.

4. What is the name of the factory that collapsed?

5. What other companies (rumor has it there were over 30) produced goods at the factory?
