Penneys set to complete registration of workers at Bangladesh complex
Penneys says it will this week complete the registration of almost 4,000 former employees of the Rana Plaza complex which collapsed in Bangladesh last month.
More than 1,100 workers died in the tragedy - the worst industrial accident in the country's history.
Penneys parent company Primark says the registration process will see the payment of short-term financial aid, the equivalent of three months' wages, to all the Rana Plaza employees.
According to the company, the vast majority of these employees made clothes for retail brands other than Primark.
Earlier this week, Penneys announced that it is now surveying the structural safety of factories in Bangladesh that make clothes for them.
