Clothing Sweatshop in India Collapses
The 2013 Savar building collapse or Rana Plaza collapse was a structural failure that occurred on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 in Bangladesh, India. It is considered the deadliest garment-factory accident in history, as well as the deadliest accidental structural failure in modern human history.

In the 2017-2018 biennium,, we demand that foreign trade agreements protect Americans. We reject trade agreements that give away the authority to enforce American laws that protect our workers, consumers, and future generations, to international business organizatons. We support American courts enforcing American worker rights, health and safety laws, and protection of the environment. We oppose letting international business organizations decide whether or not to obey American law.
