Thanks for your comment, Emilia. For educators interested in bringing these issues into current events, the fire in Bangladesh is a very relevant tie-in. The New York Times has several articles on its site (I've included one link below that has links to related articles).
If you are an educator working with adults or older teens, many of the pictures from the NYT site about the fire in Bangladesh are very reminiscent of the photos of the Triangle fire and its aftermath. Could be an interesting entry point for discussion, though probably not appropriate for all audiences.
