The Bangladeshi government has declared a period of national mourning for more than 120 garment workers who died in a fire at a factory that supplied U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart, among others. Joining us from Bangladesh is labor activist Kalpona Akter, who has visited the factory and took pictures of the charred clothing labels she found there — including the Wal-Mart brand, Faded Glory and Gap. She started work in garment factories when she was 12 years old.... We are also joined by Scott Nova, executive director of the Worker Rights Consortium, which investigates working conditions in factories around the world. http://www.democracynow.org/2012/11/27/bangladeshi_labor_activist_finds_burned_clothes
