Undercover in a Bangladesh clothing factory
Вставка

- Many of the clothes sold in American stores come from factories in Bangladesh, which has a history of workplace disasters. Following the factory collapse last month that killed over 1,000 people, Holly Williams went undercover to see what the conditions are really like.
I really will never understand how people can make millions of dollars and be fine with the amount of people who are living like this
It's a chain
Ikr if I earn good money when I'm older, I'm going to regulary pay money to people on the street and charities.
evil thats it
capitalism is evil, thats how it work

Six years later and sadly this still happens.
@brycat9001 No it will not. The revolution will happen.

$15 workers salary? Funny more like $1
Why show even parts of their face when they asked to hide their faces? 🙄
I came down to the comments to say the same thing!
bc they’re poor and their feelings don’t matter
doesn't matter now, the whole factory will be shut down and all the people will lose their job and starve. Classic do-gooders acting like they're fixing things when really they're just profiting off these people's suffering in their own way, whilst making things worse for everyone.

How does closing down an entire factory help the already ‘unfortunate’ workers? Our workers are so simple, even with the fear of loosing their job, they spoke to a complete stranger in the only hope to better their working conditions and salary. The investigators should have instead sent warnings so the factory could improve in a given period of time. They could have asked those brands to pay more generously, and ensure it reaches the workers.What they received instead was a total shut down of the very platform that was the only means for the food on their table.
They used to beat them when they made a mistake? Wow
sadly it's way more common than one can imagine, they don't even need to make a mistake sometimes
She showed her face i hope she didn't lose her job
heartbreaking and sad most people in the comment sections are uneducated or lack compassion for these people suffering

Welcome to the real world people: IT'S NOT JUST WALMART DOING THIS!
This is the reality of living in a 1st world country like the USA unless you decide to go "hippie"!

The companies themselves are the ones who investigate these practices. There is no accountability for them.
then who's accountable?

People are shocked? How do they think cheap products are made? I've known about this for years and boycott these cheap product places.
This wasn't very undercover
That’s our fault! We want to pay 5€ in a T-Shirt, so we can have a huge full closet. What we need to do is accepted to pay 50€ for this same T-Shirt even if is not produced in Europe. They need the jobs and we need to be less selfish and consuming less. ;(
This is truly heartbreaking
Carrefour also selected new factories in Bangladesh for cheaper price instead of China .
Rich people exist on the hardwork and the sorrows of the poors👍🏼😍 And the sad thing is no one gonna appreciate them for anything.

If we dont buy the products made in Bangladesh no more what will happen? Can these people survive?
i was just gonna comment that sae stuff that u commented
The actual solution would be to convince these brands to pay more generously, with transparency, and make sure it reaches the ground level workers.
We don't need to look very far look at the Agricultural Industry in the States there's children that work the fields of agriculture and in Mexico you have children bagging food for Walmart.
does this include shein clothes?
especially shein
So 1st world industries gives the opportunity of labour to these so called 3rd world countries, but we cannot act as if they are not generating billions on income.
If these industries wanted to make a social responsible change they could and as a matter of fact still generate billions.
Closing the factories down means a loss of livelihood and income for the people who work there, leaving them worse off than before. Instead, these companies should work with the factories to enforce improved working standards and better pay.
This journalist successfully put the poor workers out of the job.... Did she help them or what....
The other thing not mentioned, which is fine because it was just a short segment, is how in these poor countries the fabrics and dyes are made with zero regard to the environment. This is such a hard thing to really deal with because you feel for these workers but it's really their government that is throwing them under the bus.
What I do is buy American, from western or european countries and/or companies that can show their products are made responsibly. I know this is expensive but I also don't buy a lot of clothes and I try consignment shops and 2nd hand stores first.
The problem is that the West makes too much cheap crap and people buy too much cheap crap and they waste too much perfectly fine things. I tell people that you don't need tons of things, clothes especially. If you do, buy quality American made goods and/or try a 2nd hand store first because there is so much there that is great and inexpensive...
Things changed. Bangladesh now has most green RMG factories anywhere in the world.
is here anyone who lives in bangladesh? how is the current situation about the industry? is it as bad as in this video in 2019?
I wanna know too!
Those factory owners didn’t force those child to work at their factories. Their own parents had forced them to work in the factories. As you guys heard that the young girl saying that she created a fake id that shows she is over the age of 18.There are some poor people in bangladesh, thats why they force their kids to work in factories. The factory workers didn’t force anyone to work for them. Those things only happens in the slums. There are big cities and middle class neighborhoods in bangladesh. Kids from rich and middle class families in bangladesh don’t work in factories. There are people in bangladesh who lives in big mansions.
The factory workers clearly know she is underage and the documents are faulty and choose to look the other way. However, I don’t blame the parents nor the local factory management. I blame the wealthy ones at the top making these decisions and allowing for this.
I don’t doubt that Bangladesh has wealthy people just like anywhere else, but that isn’t relevant. You seem to be more insulted by the insinuation that all of Bangladesh is poor rather than the exploitation here.
I guess this only helped in making them jobless.
Bangladesh is basically America but 60 years behind. The same building fire in N.Y clothing factory will happen here and then laws will be stricter
bold of you to assume they will become stricter
I don't quite understand what's the intention of this video. And what is the goal of this british reporter. Does she just do a reporting on this matter then goes back to her country? Or does she suggest that those big companies stop doing business with Bangladesh? If so, how would the situation make even better? If they stop doing business; isn't the situation going to be even worse?
I understand there needs to be more regulation by Bangladeshi Govt. protecting the rights and well being of it's labor force. I hope your intention is to make things better or help the poor. Instead of making things worse and calling on large global companies to stop doing business with Bangladesh! whew!
Sonny Rahman yeap you are quite right there. At first, i thought oh wow maybe she wanted to show and make us appreciate bangladesh made garments more but then she just reported it back to her company and now people or companies (walmart, asics and wrangler rather) are officially cancelling their contract with monde. Wth
Bangladesh breeds a lot. They need investor to give their people jobs
@@bangbangtangahwei Not jobs like these though. These people are overworked terrible numbers of hours, paid at least half the legal amount, and are working in dangerous (sometimes life-threatening conditions). All these things are illegal and are done to make Walmart rich. The people who buy the clothes and other things made in Bangladesh (as well as China) aren't made aware of how their things are made, and it's videos like these that help raise that awareness and encourage shoppers to abandon big companies like Walmart. We don't have Walmart here in the UK, but we do have ASDA, who are owned by Walmart.
Sonny Rahman They are spreading awareness, definitely playing a bigger part than you on attempting to stop the abuse.
I guess I'm trying to better understand the situation (and I guess play devil's advocate), but how do we improve the situation if not by calling out large corporations? I understand that having big companies pull out of their deals with these manufacturers will cause many Bangladeshis to lose their jobs (and by extension the manufacturers will implement harsher conditions), but this isn't just something to be complacent about. I get people wanting to cut down on fast fashion by problematic brands like those mentioned in the video, but for many Bangladeshi families, that's their only shot at survival. What's the solution then? It doesn't seem like these brands are making an active effort to see where their inventory is coming from and through what means. IDK if that makes sense but
Pay the right price for garment and see all will be fine. Production cost increased by 50 % in last one year and if buyers squeeze too much such situation will continue.
laws protecting workers must be inforced. People have to work and are at a disadvantage.
You belive that the factory owner does not get paid the laber........worker.........only monthly paid the worker....................100-120 dollar............is it right........they are duty every day morning 8 am to night 8 pm........salary structure very poor..............................please help the garments worker..............please and please.......I am bangladeshi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,koresh mahamud
Sad
i feel bad for those workers
I too feel bad for these workers. I'm from Bangladesh. But no one's forcing them to work in the garment factories. They can leave anytime they want. But they won't. Because "WOMEN EMPOWERMENT" bruhhh!. There's about 5 million people working in the garment industry in Bangladesh. More than 80% of them are woman. As you guessed the women are severely underpaid than the men. Women get paid like 10k taka or less. While men get paid over 20k taka. Those who are in the higher ups get paid more than 100k per month. Which is actually quite a good pay in Bangladesh. I'm not trying to make fun of these women. I'm just trying to say that they themselves chose this job where they're severely underpaid, disrespected and made fun of. No one's forcing them to do the job. So let them be and don't feel bad about them 😀
Don't shop at Walmart.
Hi Englisch-kurs Neuhaus😂
It's Walmart business .
Boycott fashion industry!!!
Agreed. Boycott ALL big businesses - Supermarkets, food giants, the sugar lobby. All of them. I don't shop at supermarkets or discount shops anymore. I only buy local, seasonal food and clothes from charity shops.
AHHHH I agree. Totally against big corps and fast fashion, but Bangladesh's economy relies on the textile and manufacturing industry. This by extension hurts the most vulnerable as well as the filthy rich. what's the solution
Sounds nice in theory, let me know how that goes.
@@nafessajaigirdar6651 Sit back and see the show. How the economy and rich guys fall apart.
This is a very big problem in India and Pakistan that never will solve,we are waiting and watching all this since years and years
This happens, and everyone goes grazy. Go take a look at how your meat is produced if this is shocking.
I know how meat's produced. That's why I'm here. I'm taking compassion to the next level. I've stopped buying from big chains and turned to locally-sourced shops in my high street.
Every factory are not same.
0:04 a factory? If not. then she should be accountable!
It's better to work than starving.
They're starving anyway and don't receive a fair wage for their workdays.Did you not watch the whole video? No contract, no minimum wage, and only shifts of extra long hours.Can you provide food in these conditions or any other decent means for necesarry everyday living? I highly doubt it.
I live in Bangladesh
you are awesome
Well you got them all fired, very good.
Walmart is shit
Look at the face of you beloved capitalism, fricken socialism haters.

Should increase salery like American standerd
Then a sure would cost a $120. Would you Pay the extra

Video isn't playing?
Hallo, AEG
sick.
This is 10 years ago but I think this is fine. This is strengthening their economy and encouraging other companies to go there as well as offering jobs. If you know anything about bangladesh few years before this video released, jobs basically didn't exist there. You had to make a living on your own by selling stuff you made or beg like a low life. So yeah, it's a country in poverty playing with the best cards they've been dealt.
MADE IN BANGLADESH GOOD QUALITY IN ASIA WORLD
doesnt seem undervcover
at least she was being paid b4 the video you took their food and did nothing about it you just need the hits in reality you dont care
She can find job in another factory.
@@michealphillip9276 then why wouldn't she before that?
This is just false and yellow reporting.
Bangladehsi worker not getting anuf mony they are working 12 hours only 4 us dollars
People exploiting their own. No condoms. May be teach them the to make condoms before work
The situation and working conditions are way better here than in china .but china wont let them shoot inside chinese factories so in Bangladedh after these many years the working conditions have seen immense growth. My uncle even works in one of these factories and living a very happy life
I just watched a video in a Chinese factory. There will always be whistleblowers who sneak videos
@@strnglhld trust me china is not that easy.
The situation is better now.

Parking media you are a liar people you do know about Bangladesh do you know Bangladesh is the international Silas
Bring back those manufacturing jobs to the U.S.
RocketmanRockyMatrix yes please
I think we should ban all inport from Bangladesh
But them again they only make like 50 dollar a day
Honestly never gonna happen, the cost of paying employees would go up & so would the prices of products. Then people wouldn’t want to pay the higher prices.
@@malayaanderson8222 Studying Norway and other Dutch countries economy that statement is actually false
This is just a propergander video
This video is very old. These situations have changed a lot.
We make very good t shirts for low price.
bk2 was geht
This is an old report. Things are better nowadays.
Not really though, better than this but still not great, but it’s just one of those things.

Fake news
Your journalism can't feed her belly whatever your propaganda is but these companies are giving employment
When was the last time your boss hit u?
0:04 seriously I died laughing :3
like how is that a garment factory? so you guys are showing random slums of my country and calling it factory?? Brilliant :3 :p
They didn’t meant that those buildings were factories, they meant that this is the country where the clothes came from smh
If you died laughing how come you had a chance to post this comment?
🙄🙄🙄
wonderful.
I get that the working condition is bad and hazards are big
They got a job, they're lucky enough right?
Sure the Boss broke some(a lot) of promises
But then if that's the case then why don't the people just quit
Yea they can't get money anymore
But they don't got a right to complain
If they don't like it they should move to a better country after gathering enough money
Do you live in fairytale?
Stop making fake news, get off Bangladesh's back.
Fault news
Faaaaake
haha idgaf sucks to be them
I hope one day u have to work in conditions like these and then see if ur still laughing
