Trade union leaders came together in a protest against Migros and Coop, two large supermarket brands that have refused to sign the Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety. While CEOs from more than 120 global brands have signed the accord, Switzerland’s biggest chains have so far refused. Protesters said they are calling on Migros and Coop to take the last opportunity of the year to join the employers who care about workers.
