In Bangladesh, researchers only spoke to a small number of workers, but they were all living in slum housing and earning a maximum of 8,000 taka (£70) despite working long hours of overtime and needing 15,000 taka (£131) for what they considered a living wage. A report by consumer ’ rights group Labour Behind the Label has found that workers producing clothes for Marks & Spencer ( M&S ) in Sri Lanka , Bangladesh and India are still not being paid sufficiently , six years after the retailer agreed to support the payment of a living wage in those countries . Under the company ’s Plan A environmental and social policy , it promised to ensure workers receive a fair living wage in the three south Asian countries . It said its goal was achieved in 2015 . However , the report claims that workers from three factories in Sri Lanka , another three in India and two in Bangladesh were all being paid well below the amount required for a decent standard of living .
