A challenge has been made to garment retailers to compensate the workers of Bangladesh's former Rana Plaza who made their clothes.

Bangladesh garment workers staged widespread protests in September, demanding an increase in the minimum wage from $40 per month — one of the planet’s lowest — to $109. The protests forced at least 400 garment factories to close temporarily, according to the International Labor Rights Forum.

You are correct we are being inundated with information, but there is always an ulterior agenda and if something is being allowed to happen, the Boston Marathon bombing, I am not convinced that we did not know about that attack beforehand.
