Quiz suspends supplier amid exploitation claims
Jul 13, 2020
Leicester's garment-making industry is already under scrutiny for alleged poor working conditions at some sites.
Last week, Boohoo faced a backlash after a report that workers at a factory supplying goods for its Nasty Gal brand could expect to be paid as little as £3.50 an hour.
The national minimum wage for people over 25 years-old is £8.72 an hour.
There were also claims there were few measures in place to protect workers from the coronavirus. Leicester is currently in a localised lockdown following a spike in Covid-19 cases.
The company said it monitored "its supplier base through audits and site visits".
It added that it was "in the advanced stages of appointing an independent third-party partner to provide more regular audits of suppliers in the Leicester region".
