Too bad Walmart chose to act on its own on this. Isn't collaboration a win win situation to solve such complex issues?

Yes, it is bad, some of fashion retailers also chose not to sign. I think they believe that their own way will be much more effective than signing that pact..

Will such public private collaborations such as the Bangladesh Fire and Safety Act, a legally-binding agreement, eventually be a first step towards better and safer working conditions in global supply chains?
