Campaigners will protest on Saturday (2 May) over poverty wages for garment workers as Britain’s most popular cheap fashion retailer, Primark, opens a huge new two-floor store in London.

Leading British retailers Tesco and Primark today are accused of cashing in on the recession with cheap fashion sales by exploiting overseas garment workers.

Workers are still paid only 5p an hour for 80-hour weeks producing clothes for leading UK retailers Primark, Tesco and Asda in Bangladesh, says a charity. This is despite the publication a year ago of a report which exposed their 'sweatshops'.
