I was pissed off the other day when we had lots of rain and flooding and I noticed that Tesco were selling umbrellas priced at £1 in Pound Shops for £5. Talk about cashing in and every little extra £4 helps their profit.
Worse still, Tesco has been aware that for over a year now that its Cape Fruits are picked by women working 11 hour shifts and being paid just 38p per day.
Tesco says it is not a problem. But, it should be a problem because people shold refuse to shop in Tesco's until they ensure that workers who's produce they sell are paid a decent living wage.
Not only does Tesco make huge profits from child labour in China, it makes profits from women in South Africa.
Every little helps...every little pay to the workers helps profits.
UPDATE: Tesco shareholders in revolt over CEO's £11M pay rise.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
