If tea workers are passing excrements in bushes because of lack of toilet facilities, I am sure it is passed on to the consumers of tea. Branding tea is important so that such estates are isolated and not collected from. Tough labor laws and implementation should be overseen by government and those who accept tea from the estate.

Capitalism the world over has consequences and the poor suffer for

And of course, the "great self righteous almighty" Guardian for got to mention that the practice of forcing entire communities of people to migrate to work in terrible conditions in tea plantations was first started by the great British Raj. Oh the hypocrisy !!

I would be happy to pay double for my tea and my coffe, as long as the extra was paid to the WORKERS who pick the leaves and beans.
There is no excuse to pay poverty wages in today's world.
Perhaps if we paid people in third world countries a proper wage they wouldn't want to come over here for a better life?
Now there's a thought. -
I assume its the same situation with companies like Pg tips etc...

Government corruption.We allow politicians to take charge of all the major decisions, yet how much do they really care about their job? It seems to me that they're more concerned with obtaining power and winning the approval of a misinformed public.

Such a shame. Boycott that tea brand!
-
Low wages are clearly an ally of the traffickers.
-
thank god i never liked tetley tea ! and those of you who do should boycott that brand !
-
India has closed markets and government corruption.
The result is poverty. That is the cause of poverty. -
