Made in Bangladesh: a tale of two workforces
Jo Wood's [founder of Jo Wood Organics] trip to Bangladesh took in two diametrically opposed communities. The first destination was Swallows, a fair trade producer group located in Thanapara, a remote rural village...it is a model of how fair trade garment production can work sustainably....In contrast, a few days later, Wood visited slum-dwellers in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, where she was faced with a more brutal way of life she describes as "survival of the fittest".
