Help us demand a minimum wage, asks Ethical fashion charity, Labour Behind the Label (LBL), which launched a postcard campaign asking consumers to demand a fair wage for the people that make our clothes. LBL is calling on shoppers to send a postcard to some of the biggest names on the High Street urging them to make sure their workers are paid fairly and call a halt to the race to the bottom on pay.

Check out the trailer here: www.stupidshow.tv Our show is part of the oneclimate channel, broadcasting live 24/7 from the climate talks - they've just hit 400,000 viewers, so we're hoping to rock straight passed half a million tonight.
