PRIMARK: ‘Cut the Spin - the crisis for workers continues’
26 November, 10.30 – midday, Tower Hill, London
PRIMARK is currently bragging about its recent media cover up. In the
wake of the BBC's expose of exploited women and children producing
PRIMARK clothing, PRIMARK's Head of External Affairs is speaking at a PR
conference about how the company successfully defended its brand by
spinning the wool over customers' eyes.
Join Labour Behind the Label and Tara and Stacy from Blood Sweat and
T-shirts in telling PRIMARK that the crisis for workers is not over.
Support our stunt highlighting PRIMARK's spin by joining us at:
The Grange City Hotel, 8-14 Cooper's Row, London EC3N 2BQ - where the
conference 'Taking the Drama out of a Crisis' is happening.

They’ve been caught out and now they’re showing off about it. Let's show
them they can't spin the wool over our eyes!
