The real price of high street fashion

It has been revealed that Asda, Tesco and Primark are selling cheap clothes on the high street at the expense of garment workers in Bangladesh. Garment workers producing clothes for these companies are being forced to work excessive hours for less than a living wage, are not allowed to join a trade union and face abuse if they protest.  The report by War on Want was based on interviews with 60 workers from 6 factories.
