Tesco in sweatshop scandal [India]
An Indian sweatshop used by Tesco is paying workers just 16p an hour to churn out clothes for the UK's biggest supermarket...according to research from the charity War on Want and the campaign group Labour Behind the Label...Tesco responded by calling on War on Want to substantiate the allegations and engage with it. "We have been trying to discuss our approach to ethical trading with them but they have ignored our calls," said a spokesperson. "Now, out of the blue, they make these allegations without producing any evidence or giving us any detail on the factories they claim have problems. This means we cannot investigate." "We insist on high standards and go to great lengths to ensure our suppliers meet them."
