North American retailers devising own Bangladesh plans

North American retailers have discussed forging their own Bangladesh safety agreement, an alternative to a legally binding accord that many European retailers have signed on to, though details of any alternative accord were still unclear.

The discussions on Tuesday were the latest in a series of talks convened by large retail trade organisations and including retailers such as Macy’s, JC Penney, and Sears, to develop a response to fatal fires and a factory collapse in Bangladesh last month that killed more than 1,000 people.
