CSR - Lesson Video - Clips from Blood Sweat and T-Shirts

Many of our students will be regular shoppers at the fast fashion chains on our high streets. But what goes on behind the labels? How are UK retailers able to source such low-priced garments? How would UK consumers react if they were asked to experience what it is like to work for suppliers in low labour cost countries like Bangladesh? That was the premise behind a BBC Three series in 2008 - Blood Sweat and T-Shirts. These three clips highlight some of the ethical issues raised in the fast-fashion world.
