Absolutely NOT. That will destroy the jobs in Bangladesh and break the backbone of the country.
The best they can do, is to convey the message that they are will to pay couple dollars extra for a shirt on the condition that they will pass on the profit to enforce better working conditions in Bangladesh.
They have to say, you have to meet this this and this standard, or we'll cancel any contact. If that means paying a few more dollars, lets be it. Consumers in developed countries will have to carry the cost, but the feeling I get talking to people that, they generally don't mind paying a bit extra for humane working conditions of the workers.
