UK Supermarkets Exploiting Suppliers |
30 June 2008, Action Aid
After a 2 year Government inquiry, the Competition Commission has found UK supermarkets guilty of exploiting suppliers, including those based overseas. Poor workers in developing countries have been producing the goods we buy in totally unacceptable conditions. After an amazing 42,000 ActionAid campaigners joined the campaign, the Commission agreed with our demand for a new independent watchdog to monitor supermarket behaviour overseas.
But it’s not over yet. Government action is needed to make sure the
watchdog gets up and running – and fast. You can help by asking your
MP to make sure this happens.
Take action
Write to your MP by downloading the template letter from Action Aid's
website and help make sure the UK government quickly establishes a
watchdog to make supermarkets play fair overseas.
