I’m aware that Primark buys from suppliers, as most clothing companies do. However, since it’s Primark’s labels on the product, Primark’s shelves that stock them, and Primark’s shareholders that take the profits, they need to take responsibility for their whole supply chain.

And yes, saying that people are better off with a job, any job, is a common enough response, but put yourself in their shoes: you’re better off with your Primark job than being in the dole queue, but would that make it okay for Primark to pay you 7p an hour? Clearly not. Luckily for people like you and me, we get a choice about where we work, so companies have to offer us fair wages and conditions, and we have laws that protect us from exploitation. Many people have no choice, and no protection, and Primark is unfortunately exploiting those people.

I also know that primark doesn’t have it’s own workers, it buys from suppliers, so it isn’t there fault that their suppliers are doing wrong, and new policies ensure that each supplier is checked.

Also, remember.
Despite what happens, they’re better if with the job and money, then without.
