New video on shipbreaking workers in Bangladesh

As reported previously, the shipbreaking industry in South Asia is characterised by union busting, low wages and horrific working conditions. A new video has been produced as part of a growing international campaign by labour groups to improve conditions for local workers by supporting the development of independent unions. The video focuses on the situation in Bangladesh and allows workers to describe their working conditions in their own words, as well as summarising the major issues that workers face.
