Primark has severed ties with three Indian manufacturers for using child labour. They were alerted to this by BBC journalists from Panorama. It is reported that the suppliers produce 200,000 garments a year for the firm.
Martin Hearson, the campaign director of Labour behind the Label, said: “Cutting and running from suppliers following exposure by campaigners or the media only serves to punish those workers brave enough to speak out about their conditions. It certainly won't do anything to improve their lives. Such actions make Primark's ethical claims ring hollow.”
