Retail trade body calls for ‘fit-to-trade’ licensing scheme for industry to protect workers
Exploited workers in UK garment factories that supply clothing brands have been “robbed” of £27m since July because they are still being systematically underpaid, according to the British Retail Consortium (BRC).
The trade body and Scottish National party MP Lisa Cameron – who chairs a cross-party group of MPs on textiles and fashion – have written to the Home Office urging it to act faster to protect vulnerable workers.
