Petition Ban the importation of fashion where worker exploitation is suspected

Ban the importation from clothing retailers who are suspected of exploiting workers by, eg, paying them 3p a garment, fining for mistakes and imposing excessive hours. Recent documentaries highlight this issue.

More details

Many people including myself are horrified by media investigations about appalling mistreatment of workers in factories and have boycotted certain online shops. However, bricks and mortar shops from these same retailers are in UK cities. Highly exploitative companies who trade in human misery should not be allowed to import into the UK.
