Development agency ActionAid has accused supermarkets of exploiting overseas workers.
Supermarkets were paying wages of as little as 5p an hour in some Bangladeshi garment factories, while cashew nut workers in India were being paid just 30p a day, according to an ActionAid report.
“It is becoming painfully obvious that a decade of voluntary attempts to curb the negative impacts of these practices has failed and that only binding legislation will have sufficient teeth to make in-roads,” ActionAid said.
