I appreciated Mary Priniski’s sobering article “Life, Dignity, and the Tragedy in Bangladesh” (August 2013) regarding the plight of garment workers in Bangladesh. I recently bought a blazer from Jos. A. Bank, made in Bangladesh. With your article in mind, I wrote a letter to the corporate headquarters of this company and respectfully asked how they treat their workers (e.g. wages, benefits, working conditions). I look forward to their reply.
