Although we would think that the most effective way currently to report any crime or injustice would be through social networks, supposedly some employees of the popular Primark store in Ireland, would have written on the labels of certain garments the degree of exploitation to which they are exposed.

The alleged message Rebecca Gallagher, from Gowerton, Wales found, sewn on the dress she acquired, says: "Forced to work during exhausting hours."

Gallagher explained that when searching for the instructions to wash the dress he found this terrible message. "He couldn't believe what he found when he looked up the washing instructions for the floral print dress he had bought at a Primark chain store in Swansea for just 12 euros," smoda.elpais.com posted. Rebecca released her finding because she was concerned to know that the products we consume are manufactured under exploitative conditions. "I do not even want to think that my summer top could be made by an exhausted person working hard for hours in some exploitation factory abroad", mentioned the same portal. "I have no idea who put it there, but it has thwarted my arguments. It makes me think that it was a call for help, so that the British know what is happening there”,he added in an interview with the South Wales Evening Post.

Furthermore, as the DailyMail reports, a second girl named Rebecca Williams would also have found another secret message. According to this source, the young women, who do not know each other, found the alleged complaint in the same Primark store:

Upon the first complaint, a Primark spokesperson stated: "We would be very grateful if this client sent us the dress, so we could investigate how that label ended up there and if there are more problems that we should study," ideal.es published.

They have also published a statement specifying that the company belongs to the Ethical Trade Initiative and that they will investigate the matter due to how long it took Gallagher to make his complaint. "They have highlighted that they find it 'very strange' that the story comes to light now, considering that the dress was sold over a year ago and there have been no other incidents of this type with this model," added the same portal..

However, since the news was published, a couple of other complaints have been released from young people who claim to have found other messages on the clothing labels they have acquired in the franchise.

It should be noted that it is not the first time that this and other companies have been involved in complaints of this nature. And it is that as muhimu.es published, this situation brings up that the company was involved in the fateful accident of the Rana Plaza in Bangladesh last year, when 1,129 workers from Primark and other fashion firms died in the collapse of a factory.

With this situation, the conditions of abuse allegedly suffered by workers in some countries considered as third world could be confirmed. For the moment, it remains only to wait for this company to conduct the investigation to which it has already committed, to confirm or deny the information.
