'Mo money for the rich, 'Mo problems for the poor!


If your business is making profit in the hundred millions, then why are your employees living below the poverty line?

The figures listed above are from the ‘War on Want- Fashion Victims’ publication. The figures are shocking especially when you hear about the owners of these corporations owning different homes, holidaying in St Tropez and driving around in sport cars. Compare that to the garment workers who often live in one bedroom houses and work in poorly lit and cramped conditions.

If the companies re-invested even 2% of the profit back into the business they would help improve working conditions and make a huge difference to the workers lives.

These businesses have the ability, money and power to bring about change. Why don’t they?
