Revealed: UK fast fashion staff deprived of pay by jobs agency

Observer investigation of firm supplying workers for Boohoo, PrettyLittleThing and other major brands uncovers cases where it withheld wages

A jobs agency that supplies warehouse workers to fast fashion and high street brands repeatedly underpaid staff and deprived them of holiday pay, an Observer investigation has found.

Workers hired on zero-hours contracts to help process orders for PrettyLittleThing, its parent company Boohoo, The Very Group, Sainsbury's and Currys are among those who claim to have had wages withheld by Mach Recruitment.
