LEICESTER – De Montfort University (DMU) and the University of Nottingham’s Rights Lab are encouraging garment workers in Leicester to complete an anonymous survey that will inform the strategy of the city’s new Garment and Textile Workers Trust.
Factory staff are urged to share their experiences so that bad practices can be stamped out.
Dave Walsh, Professor in Criminal Investigation at DMU, said: “It is vital that the community are involved in helping provide solutions to the problem of labour exploitation in the garment industry in Leicester so that the rights of workers are respected where, for example, they receive a fair wage for the work they do.”
