Second dispute under Bangladesh accord settles

Marney Cheek is quoted in a Global Arbitration Review article regarding a recent settlement that was reached between labor union federations and a global fashion brand under the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh. Cheek, who led the Covington team acting for IndustriALL Global Union and UNI Global Union, says, "The Bangladesh accord arbitrations and the settlements we have achieved show that arbitration in the business and human rights context is a real and effective means to resolve disputes arising out of transnational business activity."
