One thousand people are dead in Pakistan’s worst industrial accident – all because they were ordered to return to work in an unsafe building after an earthquake.
While it certainly could use a few tweaks, the reason we tend not to have such things occur in the U.S. is because of our laws, and criminal and civil justice system. Remember that the next time you want to reform our system and laws to make them “easier” for U.S. business entities to do business here. It is easier for businesses in Pakistan to be careless, because they don’t have to worry about liability for forcing their employees to work in unsafe work environments.
