Over 2,000 sign our letter to Primark
01 December 2009
Over 2,000 sign our letter to Primark CEO Paul Marchant calling for an end to sweatshop exploitation.
War on Want's letter to Primark CEO Paul Marchant now has over 2,000 signatures calling for an end to Primark's exploitation of the sweatshop workers who produce its clothes. Primark has ignored their plight - but with your help we will tell Primark and its shareholders that enough is enough.
On 4 December 2009, Primark's parent company will hold its Annual General Meeting in Central London, and we will be there to hand over our letter and deliver our message that sweatshop exploitation has to stop.
Thousands more have already signed up to War on Want's Love Fashion Hate Sweatshops campaign that calls on the goverment to end sweatshop labour. Love Fashion Hate Sweatshops is also endorsed by television star Jo Wood, pop singer Little Boots, actors Gael Garcia Bernal and Ashley Jensen and clothes designer Betty Jackson. Among other backers are TV personality Tony Robinson, actor-playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah, comedians Jo Brand and Francesca Martinez and gardener Bob Flowerdew.
