Sweatshop workers exposed in Manchester!

The BBC has uncovered exploitation of workers, minimum wage abuse and the employment of illegal workers. Two companies, TNS Knitwear and Fashion Waves have been caught out. Both deny any wrongdoing, but the evidence would appear to be against them.

The companies make cheap clothing for Primark. They are aghast at the position! No doubt an investigation will take place into the importation of third world practices into Manchester's business community.

As Neil Kearney, of the International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers' Federation, says , It is a total scandal. This is the importation of third world working conditions into Europe and in this case into the UK. There's no such thing as cheap clothing, somebody has to pay and in this case it's the workers in Manchester who pay." Perhaps Primark could explain things to us?
