Stop supermarket bullying23 January 2012
It's four years since the Competition Commission said the UK needed a supermarket watchdog.
In that time, supermarkets have still been able to:
- Transfer 'excessive risks and unexpected costs' to UK and overseas farmers and suppliers.
- Contribute to farm employees working long hours for poverty wages in unsafe conditions.
- Undermine farmers' ability to invest in sustainable farming practices.
It's time for the Government to stop supermarket bullying.
Please ask your MP to write to the Minister responsible, The Rt Hon Dr Vince Cable MP, calling for:
- A Bill introducing a supermarket watchdog to be included in the next Queen's Speech, or time found for it before then.
- Powers for the watchdog to fine supermarkets and launch investigations based on credible information from third parties (e.g. trade associations, unions and charities).
Thanks for your interest, but this action has now expired.
