Facing competition from Vietnam and Cambodia, factories are using automation and surveillance to ramp up production and cut labor costs.
- Automation in Dhaka’s garment factories is leading to job cuts, especially for women.
- Smart surveillance devices monitor workers as factories struggle to compete globally.
- Brands are “pleased” by smart factories that produce efficiently and quickly.
Don’t we have enough clothes on the planet to clothe every person here? What the fuck do we need to produce anymore? Buy second hand and we should be set.
Also, how is surveillance going to help? Seems like a useless expense.
