Undercover: The Refugees Who Make Our Clothes (Panorama) - BBC News

Sad

Masterclass

it's so sad and breaks my heart

Just had a dress brought to me needing extensive alterations. The customer did not like my price (a very fair price to them and not so much to me if you were to watch me work a record the hours taken) soon there will be no one to alter your ill fitting garments in the UK because people expect a skilled worker like me to work for a £1 an hour!

So this is real footage? I was looking for the footage the BBC faked for panorama

These people are refugees, I have been myself once and feel them by watching.
They have lost everything and are desperate and therefore some form of work is better for them than unemployment, simply because it will improve their status, so if they are fired, what service has the BBC done for them? It is easy to blame their working conditions by comparing it to yours from your comfort zone.

H and M is cheap because they hire child labors in poor countries

,,not acceptable?,, ....are u kidding !
All these high street brands are doing the same thing !
Slave labour is the base of their business and gov is in the bed with them !

Everyone should concern & take care with love of kids. They might be the changer or destroyer. I even don't know what will happen to them but we can change now how we can & help & teach them ethically. I empathize for these kids and I understand how they're struggling for life. Stop unethical child labour. Consumerism must destroy as soon as possible.

Sickening !

Serves them right, probably not wanted in that country either.

factories in Turkey...... let the guilt start there

Filmed in Leicester, July 2020

Went to M and S recently shoes made in India Cambodia and Bangladesh retailing at £58 could not for the life of me understand how they make any profit on them . I do not go there anymore after they deserted british workers for the super profit margin

SAD

What were the other 3 brands though??? Censorship

So M&S are appalled at the situation? Not so appalled that they move their manufacturing back to the UK and employ their own citizens though.

M&S WTF

Wait the youngest is 15? I thought they would be younger.

I go to m&s....

reality this boys need food house to sleep but they dnt have any thing if dont have what er det doing u must ting

The Islamic world and gross human rights violations? No friggin way dude.

Breaks my heart 😔

fucked up logic, why can m&s find way to employ those people legally??!??Hello :)

f f s ..I worked down a mine when I was 12..you do what u have to do to help yourself and your family..these swivel eyed lefties are in danger of putting these hard worked on the street...well done idiots

This is a domestic issue for Turkey... how about the British broadcasting corporation do the job the British licence fee payer funds them to do and actually report the news.

Question - are Syrian Refugee children allowed to attend school in Turkey?

Reading the comments below really saddens me. The lady in the video from M&S is correct. I myself work at a well known fashion brand (not one of the five mentioned in the documentary) and monitor directly these conditions under which the terms of social compliance, sustainability and health and safety of suppliers are being examined, basing our work mainly on the standards of ILO.

Let me be clear on one thing first. There are indeed laws that say child workers are not allowed in Turkey and no fashion brand allows this, as long as they can catch it. As for the refugee problem, the government did make changes one of which is this; ONLY up to %10 of the total turkish workers population can the factory hire a foreign worker. Meaning if you have 100 turkish people working there, you can only let 10 of them work. However there is another condition as well, refugees cannot work if they do not have work permit and they can only start working only 6 months after their registration is made.

Now, since I'm not the only person working in OSHA and trying to control, manage and monitor these happenings in our SUPPLIERS which is rare in Tier 1 but quite common in Tier 2 suppliers, I want to mention that as an employee of my own brand, we are doing best we can to manage and bring awareness to more and more suppliers. It are the suppliers who needs to be trained in these laws. Gradually, Turkey is doing best it can to measure and correct this problem while brands make certain cuts such as not allowing their orders to be produced in Tier 2 subcontractors so that they can map out and keep a track of them. Me and other collegues of mine working in similar positions from other well known textiles brands come together once in every few months or so and discuss how we can take an altogether action together to better address and resolve such conflicts.

So, just wanted to let people know that work is going on behind the scenes, it will take a lot to complete this process and gradually more and more suppliers are understanding the necessity of such treatment and are being taught it's not possible to continue business by making people work under these conditions. However, I'm not going to defend my government taking so much people in without a plan. Yes, that was a fail unfortunately. I just wanted to provide a perspective as someone who is in the business and is actually dealing with this problem first hand.

Thank you for reading up to this point and have a nice day.

then M n S going round looking dirty on you when you enter their shops ! Bitch ma people made your overpriced shit!!!

UK has under 18's working in supermarkets - Is that underage Children working in supermarkets? What do Panorama people think when the person working on the till is asking supervisors to verify alcohol sales to adults?
Nobody likes the outdated working practices of countries in that region & nearby Romania also only pay £1 per hour - which is why so many come to UK hoping for work in places such as Sports Direct or Agriculture

Kudos to those companies if they follow through

Its interesting that if you think like a globalist, you can literally predict glibal events. That's how much theyre winning.

This includes India and other countries.

this is sad it makes me want to cry

Freedom

Well.. they are working illegally surely Turkey need to change their laws with Syrian refugees than M&S change their supplier

as sad as it is, what'll happen to those folks now? they wanted to work, despite the pay. will they be taken care of?

Hey people of Internet ✋🏻
It's a common exercise in my beautiful country even my uncle used to hire people without health insurance or etc.

If the president erdogan takes this journalism personal and regard it as an act of attack against his party or country
Then I would say ok he manipulate things for the cause he believe in

as long as they make XL I don't mind

Wow

This is disgraceful.

Ok if not that job hat they should do! Maybe you should stop war!
