Mozena talks tough against defiant RMG owners

US Ambassador in Dhaka Dan W Mozena on Thursday said the defiant owners of the readymade garment (RMG) who are ‘unwilling’ to meet the international safety and labour rights standards should ‘close and leave’ their businesses to keep the vibrant export-earning sector free from further risk. “I think they’ve no right to make profits by exploiting workers, thus putting the entire sector at risk,” he said. The US diplomat made the remark at the closing session of a two-day training programme at a city hotel, according to a news agency.
