Following a Times newspaper investigation into the poor working conditions of workers at Boohoo in Burnley local MP Antony Higginbotham has said:
This is extremely concerning, and I will be raising the issue with Boohoo directly.
I want good quality jobs in Burnley and that means employers, especially on the scale of Boohoo, treating their staff with the respect they deserve in a safe working environment. The reports of working practices inside of their warehouse falls way short of what any of us would expect from a local employer. And that’s exactly what I will be speaking with them about.
We need to be moving to a high wage, high skill economy. Given the size of Boohoo’s presence in Burnley they need to play their part in that.
