chem1st Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 High Street shopping chain Poundland is launching an inquiry after a boy of seven was found to be working 100 hours a week in an Indian sweatshop producing goods for the store. The child, known as Ravi, was reportedly earning just 7p a hour to make napkin rings for the cut-price chain.

Surely adult UK staff should be getting at least 7p per hour? Especially if child labourers are pulling that in India!

Surprising how many people want to work here for low wages whe a lot of UK people can't get out of bed to get to the Job Centre and we allow it.

Lucifer Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 If foreigners didn't come here, where would we get servants. Our people might have to work, just joking, who wants to work when you don't have too. ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
