Abstract:

ActionAid takes a look behind the shiny, pristine-looking fruit stacked on Tesco supermarket shelves and finds that the retailer is known to squeeze suppliers who pass on this pressure in the form of low wages and precarious employment for the most vulnerable in the supply chain: casual women farm workers in South African's Western Cape.
