Protesters worldwide for Bangladesh garment safety

Protestors stand outside of the Gap Inc. headquarters on April 25, 2013 in San Francisco, California.

Under Secretary for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman visited Bangladesh, the world's second biggest garment maker after China, to urge the government to learn the lessons of a building collapse last month that killed 1,129 workers. She referred to the changes in regulations, building codes and inspections implemented in the US after the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York, which killed 146 workers. "It was a trans

Donley said commanders must "ride herd" on the launch crews, and he said the Minot revela
