Hi, I am a sutdent studying MSC Marketing at University of Birmingham(England). Now I am working on my dissertation which is about Fresh&Easy in America. Hope you can help me to do the questionnaire, please.

http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/news_press_release,219997.shtml John Edwards has joined with an alliance of community, faith, labor and political leaders in calling on British grocery giant TESCO, the parent company of Fresh & Easy, to negotiate a community benefits agreement as it enters the U.S. market. The corporation has thus far refused to meet with the Alliance for Healthy and Responsible Grocery Stores, a citywide coalition of more than 25 community, environmental, faith and labor organizations in Los Angeles. A report released in August by Occidental College raised serious questions about TESCO's labor, food quality and environmental practices. TESCO has been criticized for exploiting child labor in countries where they manufacture products, as well as for contracting with manufacturers in England that pay less than minimum wage. In addition, an independent report released in Britain says that the company's "carbon footprint" in the UK could be as much as twelve times higher than what TESCO publicly acknowledges. In Southern California, TESCO has advertised itself as a "great place to work," but while the company will pay a starting salary of $10 per hour, news reports have said that the company only plans to employ most workers for up to 20 hours a week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DHhu37zzuM
