Thank God for the ABC. Last night on "4 Corners" an
investigative TV Crew went to Bangladesh where one
thousand underpaid and abused workers died after
they were forced back into a creaking and shoddy
garment building (that was about to collapse) cos
the arrogant slum-lord owner said it was 'safe'
when it was cracking up with five thousand
workers locked inside, behind iron bars.

The images of slum-lord worker destruction was like
Dante's Inferno. Little wonder Aussie companies
(who benefit from exploiting poor Bangladesh
workers) refused to take part in the ABC's
expose of unfettered company greed.

If the Aussie garment retailers (who were named
and shamed) could get away with using slaves
they would - as Capital has no conscience to
save it from its lust for bigger profit margins.

Thank God Australia has strong labour unions.
There were some graphic blood-stained shots
(in the "4 Corners" program) of what happens
to dirt-poor Bangladesh workers - who tried
to join a labour union to escape poverty and
were savagely bashed with being murdered
the next time, if they tried to join a union.

Restrain capitalism or it will eat you alive.
