Fecha de emisión: Ago 04, 2014

Facing stiff competition from discount stores, Britain's big supermarkets are desperate to win customers back with special offers and price reductions. But who is paying the price?

From field to factory, he examines hygiene, health and safety and the reality of life on minimum-wage, ultra-flexible contracts.
