A few weeks ago jumped the South Wales Evening Post story about a buyer who found a label sewn into her dress Primark "forced to work grueling hours." While it may have been a hoax, the horror felt the purchaser spread, were more labels, and history has become a national concern that has worked in the department spans PR Primark.
Where do these labels topshopping claiming Primark sew your clothes in the UK? Why were interpreted as the voice of relief workers from Bangladesh garment? And what's wrong with them as a cry for help to which we must respond urgently?
The National Federation of garment workers (NGWF) is the largest federation of unions in the garment sector in Bangladesh. He is currently conducting a campaign to end the exhausting workdays and overtime. topshopping The label indicates correctly that workers of garment factories in Bangladesh working long hours. Although by law the limit is eight hours, plus two hours extra workers coming to do 14 hours a day. Other campaigns are being delivered for safe working conditions, maternity leave, crèches in factories, adequate housing and a living wage (currently receiving 53 monthly or 68 more skilled workers).

A tag sewn into a dress is like a message in a bottle - is the prerequisite of Eastern topshopping mysticism, the voices of a distant land and looking to save homeless women.
Garment workers in Bangladesh are neither mysterious topshopping nor need the saved. Journalists and consumer organizations could call NGWF offices in Dhaka and get the opinion of the organization topshopping on the garment industry in Bangladesh. Tuesday nobody but me (the author) had contacted the NGWF about Primark labels. Your opinion is that low wages and conditions are not exclusive to one brand (Primark) but "applies to almost all the brands that are supplied topshopping to Bangladesh."
The NGWF obviously do not want the destruction of the industry through consumer boycotts as there are no other job opportunities for the four million topshopping women who work in these factories.
