a bangladeshi teenager who died in a garment factory that supplies cheap jeans for export to europe was "overworked to death", a rights group said.
Fatema akter, 18, a garment worker in the port city of chittagong, died during her shift in december last year, the us-based national labor committee said.
"forced to work 13 to 15 hours a day, seven days a week, fatema was sick and exhausted, with pains in her chest and arms," the report said.
Her job was to clean 90 to 100 pairs of finished jeans an hour, it said.
"rather than grant her a sick day [her supervisor] slapped her face very hard and ordered her to continue working."
the committee said an investigation showed that 14-hour shifts with few breaks were common at the factory, overtime was compulsory and workers were regularly beaten by their superiors.
The report, released this week, said 80 per cent of garments produced at the factory were supplied to german-based retail giant metro group.
Ncl has called on metro group, which sells bargain jeans across europe, to guarantee the legal rights of the workers.
A statement issued by metro group said the company was "deeply saddened" by the death and had immediately terminated its contract with the bangladeshi supplier that used the factory.
Rights groups have long questioned the working conditions in bangladesh's thousands of garment "sweatshops", which provide some of the cheapest labour in the world.
Last year spanish fashion firm zara forced the closure of a supplier's factory in the capital dhaka after workers said they were being abused.

Those weren't a product of "unfettered capitalism"...They were the product of insiders gaming a highly regulated marketplace.=====================No reason we can't have both. Well, no reason but Democrats making the US a place hostile to business.

Unfettered capitalism hasn't really been good for Main Street America. All one has to do is look at the Saving & Loan failures in the late 80's, the financial sector collapse that was a main culprit to our recent recession, off-shore outsourcing and flat wages for the working class. Unfettered capitalism is great for the few but not for the masses.

Oligopoly/monopoly are the entire aim of capitalism. The capitalist's single drive, the entire task he is assigned and readily accepts, is to snuff out the competition, minimize costs, and maximize the profit margin and net profits for himself and the few at the head of the company.No reason we can't have both. Well, no reason but Democrats making the US a place hostile to business.

Capitalism..without competition..is no longer capitalism.

Unfettered Capitalism inevitably leads to colonialism and oligarchy.
You can rename the colonies Banana Republics. You can remove the pseudo-nationalist vibe in place of internationalism and 'free trade', but the fundamental nature of what is going on- and the suffering of the poor- remain unchanged.
Americans fought for socialism. They fought for the 8-hour work day, minimum wages, unionization in the face of government executions of union leadership and the killing of women and children by the bosses' thugs.
And now they not only turn their backs on their fellow-workers, content to elevate themselves to the role of the new international aristocracy- a protected class within the proletariat, content to let their fellows suffer in order that the boss can increase his profits and they can feel that they're good little capitalists-- now some would even advocate throwing it all away and returning to the sweatshops in the name of being 'friendly to business'! The 'business' of which they speak is not the workers' business. It is not the trades, nor is it the potential for entrepreneurship found in the new socialist society. it is not even the guilds of the past- it is capitalism, the very same master to which they themselves were once slaves!
