Primark sacked three of its Indian suppliers after an investigation by BBC's Panorama found children stitching the fashion stores' clothes in Indian refugee camps. Labour Behind the Label is calling on Primark to reverse its decision to 'cut and run' from the suppliers, which it says will only hurt the workers further. The campaign group wants Primark to postpone the cancelling of contracts and work with the suppliers to ensure that standards at these factories and at their subcontractors are improved. They say that Primark needs to acknowledge that this problem is not just about one rogue supplier but is systematic and that if it is serious about improving conditions for workers in the facilities they source from, both in India and beyond, it need to:

'1. Start a comprehensive programme of monitoring and implementation of its code of conduct, throughout its whole supply chain not just the parts that have been highlighted in the media, working with local trade unions and workers rights organisations.

2. Look seriously at the impact of its own purchasing practices on suppliers, including whether suppliers have the capacity to respond to large orders at short notice and whether the price paid per piece is realistic in allowing for decent working conditions'.
