USDAW calls for M&S to play fair

The latest stage of retail union USDAW's campaign for union recognition at Marks and Spencer is making the most of the company's commitment to fair trade farmers.

Under the slogan "Fair Trade? It's time for a fair trade union at M&S", the campaign points out that many M&S customers have been attracted back because of its support for fair trade.

But the union points out that "those customers are unaware that M&S refuses to recognise Britain's biggest retail union."

USDAW is asking M&S customers to support the union by returning special postcards backing the case for union recognition. These can be downloaded from www.usdaw.org.uk/resource_library/
