That's good that Primark are making a stand, but I still think that surely something that cheap can't be that ethical.

I don't think it could ever be entirely ethical, but I've got the same argument for places like Zara, Topshop and H&M, etc. Except they mark up their prices. I've purchased items from all three top high street stores that have quality comparable to that of Primark. Cheap labour all around. That goes for the so-called do-gooders Gap as well - very hypocritical.

Good for them if they make a stand, I have never bought anything from Primark and never will and yah I agree with LArgent, something that cheap can't possibly be ethical. What kind of legal workers would be happy to get paid so little??

I think it's really wrong to single Primark out from all the other high street retailers, as they do use the same suppliers. As they've said, their prices are cheap because they have incredibly thin profit margins on each item, they don't advertise and don't spend much money on making their shops look very nice. When they reduce anything in price, they're losing money on that item, unlike places like Topshop where even the deepest reductions result in profit. I'm obviously against sweatshops, but I think all shops should be held equally responsible.
