Solidarity picket outside designer store
Turkish workers sacked for joining a union

LUXURY handbag designer Mulberry looked less fashionable yesterday as workers’ rights campaigners picketed the group’s flagship store in London in support of sacked trade unionists.

Members of the Solidarity with People of Turkey (Spot) campaign stood outside the brand’s Bond Street shop in solidarity with 14 workers at Turkish factory SF Leather, who were given the boot after attempting to unionise their workplace.

SF Leather, which produces goods for Mulberry, is said to be in breach of the British company’s Global Sourcing Principles for preventing access to trade union representation.
