Protesters gathered outside a fast fashion company amid claims its working conditions were "harming workers".

It came after an undercover reporter made claims about life at Boohoo's warehouse in Burnley, notably staff having to hourly collect 130 items in temperatures that could reach 32C.

Boohoo said it was treating the allegations "very seriously".

The Manchester-based brand said making staff feel "safe and comfortable" at work was its "highest priority".

The Times reported that workers felt conditions in the warehouse made them feel like "slaves".

A Boohoo spokesperson said the claims were not reflective of conditions in the Burnley warehouse.
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing
