Thai factory used by Tesco faces criminal charges over treatment of workers

VKG, where workers made jeans for Tesco’s Thai branch between 2017 and 2020, faces charges including fraud and forced overtime

Thai police have brought criminal charges against a clothing factory that was used by Tesco to make F&F clothes, over its treatment of workers.

The Guardian revealed in December that Burmese workers who produced F&F jeans for Tesco in Thailand reported being made to work 99-hour weeks for illegally low pay in terrible conditions.
