Welcome to Cheapco
Supermarkets have used their buying power to squeeze suppliers and drive down pay and working conditions. This means that the people who make the clothes and grow the food sold in UK supermarkets are often poorly paid, overworked, endure unsafe conditions and are discouraged from joining a trade union. Supermarkets claim they care about workers in their overseas supply chains but are doing nothing to change this situation.
We wouldn’t accept this situation in the UK, so why should they? Watch our new film below and share it far and wide.
Now call on Ed Davey MP, the minister responsible, to create a watchdog that is proactive, independent and covers overseas suppliers.
