Who Pays? The real cost of cheap school uniforms

Cheap school uniforms sold in major UK supermarkets are being produced by women workers in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka earning as little as five pence per hour and working over 70 hours per week, according to a report published by ActionAid.

The report - Who Pays? The real cost of cheap school uniforms - exposes  how unrelenting pressure from retail giants Asda, Tesco and Marks & Spencer to cut prices and change orders at the last minute is trapping thousands of women who produce school uniforms in poverty.
