The firms Asda, Tesco and Primark are affected by a report of the NGO War on Want, which shows wages and working conditions close to exploitation in several textile subcontractors' worksites in Bangladesh. The companies accused have reacted differently. (Ref. 061260)
Three large distribution chains are finger-pointed after the publication of a report by the NGO War On Want on the working conditions in their subcontractors in Bangladesh. The study reports that the employees of five factories which manufacture clothing at low prices for the supermarkets Asda, Tesco, and for the Primark stores, work up to 80 hours per week for wages of 16 pounds, that is to say 5 pence an hour, and are threatened by dismissal if they protest.
