“Trade unions in developing and industrialised countries alike need to do more to address this appalling exploitation. They need to map the nature and scale of the problem. They need to recruit migrant workers into union membership, make them aware of their rights and ensure they enjoy equality in wages, conditions of work, rights and opportunities. They need to exert pressure on governments, employers and buyers for action to eliminate abuses. And they need to raise awareness among consumers that there is no such thing as cheap fashion because someone somewhere always pays the price”.
