Ethical gossip

You may have seen a while back that Levi  are now selling organic jeans.  For those of us who are optimists this was another victory. Hurrah, another company going ethical...

Hold on a minute though. Becky, a fellow ethical enthusiast at TC, has just stumbled across this:

"We regret to announce that Levi Strauss & Co. (LS&Co.) has resigned     from ETI [Ethical Trading Initiative] following their suspension for refusing to adopt the ‘Living Wage ’ provision of the ETI Base Code."

Shock horror! Looks like it's back to Howies!
