(Bloomberg) -- Lunch break is over at Plummy Fashions on the outskirts of Dhaka, and the production line hums back to life. Workers return to their stations, inspecting seams and attaching tags to stacks of women’s black T-shirts destined for Zara stores across Europe.
A few steps away, another production hall is silent. Dozens of Juki sewing machines sit idle. Empty chairs line rows of white worktables. Nothing has moved here for three months.
