Remember that the company is aggressively anti-union so while they may not practice animal cruelty, their labor practices are bullshit.
That source says that some unnamed person at an unnamed site with no actual proof is anti union. The op even says they’ve never seen one of their contracts, so that is literally just hearsay. What happened to all of their claims that they’re fair trade and pay over minimum wage and the like..? But look, I am totally for calling out bs and unfair labor practices, but you have to give a source that’s better and more specific than “I read this one link where this one person says that they saw this one post on this one site where this one unnamed/anonymous person says this one thing” if you actually want people to listen, or to change their minds about something like this, you know? If you have sources or can show the contract, or just any proof in general, I honestly would love to see it. But the link you provided is literally just based on anonymous hearsay .
This is why everyone is coming down so hard on Lush.
Copy pasted from a post I already made:
They pay over minimum wage, but it’s not a living wage. Minimum wage at this point is so absurdly low that “over minimum wage” is a nice line that means next to nothing

They pay a living wage… within the city of London, employees everywhere else well I guess they don’t matter

Including making employees work off the clock and other illegal labor practices
