Gap

June 1st saw a Gap store opening in Aberdeen’s city centre. Quick to action, Grampian EF! held protests at the store on its first 2 days of business. The second of these protests, culminating in a sit-in inside the store itself, proved very successful. The sales assistants were sent into a panic whilst a group of customers immediately formed around those sitting down, eager to find out what was going on. Leaflets were distributed and a louder hailer informed customers of Gap’s use of sweatshops. Having been called by staff, the police eventually appeared. Leaving the store, campaigners continued the protest out side.
