The Spice Girls are doing some concerts this year, which sold out very quickly, and they will look to make millions from selling merchandise such as T-shirts.
So I guess they will carefully select factories where workers are paid a fair wage.
The Spice Girls have previously had t-shirts made though, and these were not apparently made in such a fashion...
This Guardian article from today provides some information on where they were alleged to have been made
The factory is said to have 'inhuman conditions' for workers.
From the article:
A spokesman for the Spice Girls said they were “deeply shocked and appalled” and would personally fund an investigation into the factory’s working conditions. Comic Relief said the charity was “shocked and concerned”.
This follow up will be interesting to add - put together with this report and a few other items, you have the making of an investigation into the story of our stuff...
