Consumer Complaint Demands Fair Working Conditions [Germany]

On 6 April 2010, on the initiative of the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) and the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC), the Hamburg Consumer Protection Agency filed charges of unfair competition against the German discount retailer Lidl. The complaint…demands that Lidl stop deceiving its customers about working conditions in its Bangladeshi textile suppliers. Lidl is a member of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), an international retailers' initiative that aims to improve working conditions along the supply chain…a study commissioned by ECCHR and the CCC has shown that labor rights in Lidl's suppliers are being disregarded in various ways, despite the fact that those managing supplier firms have undertaken social training.
