Tesco is involved in talks with one of its textile suppliers over protests by 25,000 workers in Bangladesh.
According to a report in The Independent, the supermarket giant has said it will be talking to Nassa, a group of textile manufacturers, over the current employment situation of the workers.
It comes after employees downed tools over the weekend in the Tejgaon industrial area in Dhaka and held protests in the streets, forcing the majority of factories in the area to shut their doors.
The industry has been hit by a series of protests over low wages and poor working conditions. Last year saw 16 factories torched and hundreds vandalised in the country’s worst labour unrest.
