Eco Fashion World

PRIMARK is currently bragging about its recent media cover up and this is your chance to protest against that! Campaigning organization Labour Behind the Label and Tara and Stacy from Blood Sweat and T-shirts will lead a stunt in telling PRIMARK that the crisis for workers is not over.

In the wake of the BBC's exposure of exploited women and children producing PRIMARK clothing, PRIMARK's Head of External Affairs will speak at a PR conference about how the company successfully defended its brand by spinning the wool over customers' eyes.

Earlier this year Labour behind the Label called on Primark to reverse its decision to cut and run from three Indian suppliers in advance of a BBC Panorama investigation. Panorama had reportedly uncovered the widespread use of subcontracting in the manufacture of embroidered goods, including the employment of home workers under extremely bad conditions and possible instances of child labour.

Tara and Stacey are the UK's eco-warriors roaming the high streets for Thread, an online fashion magazine and information resource promoting eco-fabulous style. Thread was part of a BBC Learning campaign running from May to November 2008.

You can support the campaigners during the conference “Taking the Drama out of a Crisis” on November 25 from 10:30 - 12:00 pm at The Grange City Hotel in London.
