But then this really isn't about the safety of Bangladeshi workers, but protecting German jobs.


It's about protecting German workers' safety, not just "German jobs". They're inseparable goals. One abused worker is a threat to all workers.

Anyway yeah, realistically, the reason rich-world workers should care about poor-world worker safety is because it's in their material interests: They will be forced to do unsafe things at work, or else face being fired/laid off and the company will move the work to locales where (expensive) worker safety isn't done.
