Bangladesh workers vent May Day fury after disaster

DHAKA: Protesters demanded the execution of factory bosses over the death of nearly 400 people in a building collapse Wednesday, as May Day became the focus of workers’ anger over Bangladesh’s worst industrial disaster.
Despite calls by the prime minister for “cool heads”, tensions over the country’s deadliest industrial disaster showed little sign of abating and there were fears of more violence and vandalism at textile mills.
Several thousand workers holding red banners and flags chanted “Hang the killers, Hang the Factory Owners!” as they took to the streets of Dhaka at the start of a series of nationwide demonstrations on what is a public holiday.
Kamrul Anam, one of the leaders of the Bangladesh Textile and Garments Workers League, said the workers were angry at “the murder” of their colleagues in the April 24 disaster at Savar on the outskirts of Dhaka.
(Fuck capitalism. Fuck globalisation and outsourcing. Workers of the world unite!)
