Rana Plaza Building Collapse w/ Associate Professor Mike Lee: 27 April, 2023

It has been 10 years since the Rana Plaza building collapse in Bangladesh that killed over a thousand garment workers. It was seen as a flashpoint in the fast fashion industry and led to some change. But fast fashion is still popular and workers and the environment are still exploited by the industry. Mike Lee is an associate professor in marketing at Auckland university, and he discussed the Rana Plaza collapse as well as why fast fashion is still popular even though more is now known about the conditions many workers face. Mike began by discussing what happened in Bangladesh in 2013.
