Day of Action Against Maypole Photos
Yesterday members of the Industrial Workers of the World and other supporters held a National Day of Action against Maypole Ltd. Actions took place in Bristol, Bath, Liverpool and Leicester.
Maypole Ltd is a company that uses prison labour to make trailer boards for stores like Blacks and Millets. Prisoners are paid between £6 – £25 for a full working week. If they don’t work they are punished. IWOC is asking Blacks and Millets to stop stocking Maypole products until they stop exploiting prisoners.
Thousands of leaflets were distributed and we spoke to many ex-prisoners on the streets too who had been employed in workshops such as these while incarcerated.
