This report, published jointly with Labour Behind the Label in December 2010, provides yet another example of the exploitation that lies behind the clothes sold on the UK high street.
Surveying the garment industry in Gurgaon, India, it shows that the workers making clothes for higher end retailers – M&S, Debenhams, Arcadia, Monsoon and NEXT – are subject to the same kinds of mistreatment and poor pay that are faced by garment workers working on budget clothing lines.
Nonetheless, the fight for a living wage continues, in India and across the world. You can support this struggle by signing up to War on Want’s Love Fashion Hate Sweatshops campaign and by logging on to the Labour Behind the Label website.
