Zara forces Dhaka factory closure

Fashion firm Zara has forced the closure of a supplier's factory after workers told the BBC they had suffered harsh treatment there...The factory did not make clothes for Zara, its owner Inditex said, but was part of a firm that supplied the chain. Inditex told the supplier it must close the factory and redeploy its workers. Unions must also be introduced to its other plants...One woman worker [said]: "The overall factory condition is not good, especially there is verbal abuse and the physical abuse as well..."...The supplier's owner has agreed to close the sister factory and redeploy its staff within the group by 25 September.
