Abstract
Having observed the death toll of over 1100 workers due to the collapse of Rana Plaza garments factory, the international community along with the educated quarters of Bangladesh had pressed towards amendment of the Labour Act, 2006. Though revised in 2013, the law still fell short of expectation, considering international standards. This paper points out the areas of law that require further amendment, highlighting the gaps between the domestic Act and international conventions ratified by Bangladesh. Addressing reasons for Transnational Corporations (TNCs) not to comply with the existing law, the paper provides a solution as to which portions of the law require immediate amendment and proposes ways to make TNCs comply with the regulations.
