outrageous workers rights infringement in bannana warehouse...

..I'll never complain again!

Over my porridge this morning I heard on Radio 4 about the 'Fairtrade' bannana warehouse that packs fruit UK supermarkets. Apparently it gives its (mostly migrant) workforce few breaks, 6/7 days weeks and 12 hour days. Staff were too scared to take time for doctors appointments, and one woman lost her baby from overwork. I was outraged - and I'll never complain about my lot in work again. What with a generous, holiday allowance, sick pay, cake sales, internet use and printing - I'm practically spoilt.

That's horrific. It does put things in perspective as you say.
