increase in schoolwear orders. This latest addition to the growing Price & Buckland business
secures over 250 jobs and also maintains rigorous high quality standards, an efficient supply
chain and vast improvements to our delivery service.

their high standards, every time they order from us.

Having our own factory means that we are able to adapt to the needs of our customers without
ever compromising on the quality or the look of the uniform that is required. By using the most
efficient production techniques and the best fabrics on the market, we are able to drive down
the cost to a price that remains consistently competitive.
We have a production capacity of over 1,000,000 pieces every month and we are able to

We know schoolwear which is why we chose to cut out the middle man. Through every stage of
garment design and production, to the quality of our packaging and delivery service, you won’t

An international benchmark
As a fully SA 8000:2008 (Social Accountability) certified company, we aim to make our new

very best quality control of all processes, across the board.

workers are happy and are looked after, this means they in turn maintain our very high
standards.
We make every effort to reduce our carbon footprint and ensure our business practices comply
with relevant laws and regulations. Ethical trading and sustainability are at the heart of
everything we do.
Rather than taking an arm’s length approach, Price & Buckland are far closer to the supply
process than most other school uniform suppliers. That’s because we manufacture the
garments ourselves in our own dedicated factory facilities.
We have total control and full visibility of the working conditions, practices and pay of every
employee. Our factory has recently been credited as being a fully SA 8000:2008 (Social
Accountability) certified company. In addition, we not only ensure exceptional conditions for
our skilled workers, but also maintain precise control of the
quality of the garments that they produce.
Further up the supply chain, we also visit the yarn and fabric
producers to ensure the highest standards are maintained on
a regular basis. Regular audits are carried out to assess the
quality of the fabrics, which enables us to preserve the
consistency of our garments. From the workers who weave
the yarn, the knitters who knit the fabric, to the pattern cutters who make the garments; we
get to meet them face to face.
Supporting charities
For many years we have supported ‘Room To Read’, a non-profit organisation dedicated to
improving literacy and gender equality in education, in the developing world. In the last six
years we have donated over £50,000 of our profits to helping improve children’s lives in Asia
and Africa.
We have also established the PB EduFoundation in India, which helps children and schools by
providing them with educational tools and resources. In addition to the larger corporate
donations, every employee gets involved in raising hundreds of pounds for a wide range of
other charities, giving back to those less fortunate than ourselves.

CAUSES FOR THE SLOW PROGRESS OF LABOUR WELFARE ACTIVITIES IN INDIA:
1- The ales parried in India for the welfare of workers are not coordinative in nature
these ales have been passed in unplanned & unscientific manner.
2- In most of the industries workers are not united they are not aware of their rights.
3- There is a lack of proper planning & scientific approach in easier welfare activities
being underline by the employers, the government in our country.
5- Workers are also responsible for such slow progress they do not have attuned
towards their employers.
There is lack of initiative among employers to provide such facilities to them worked they feel
the money spent on labour welfare activities is only the wastage of money whatever facilities
they provide they are providing either because of legal compulsion or because of possibility of
sheik by workers.
Following Principal should be kept in mind & properly following to achiever successfully
implementation of welfare programmes:
Employees are required to offer welfare facilities to workers under different labour laws. These
are as follows:-
TRADE UNIONS:-
The contribution of trade unions in India towards labour welfare activities is not significant. A
poor finance, multiple unionisms comes in the way of undertaking labour welfare work
enthusiastically; they can however take the following measures.
4. To identify worker’s need & bring them to the notice of the government & the employers.
VOLUNTARY AGENCIES:-
Many voluntary social services have been doing labour welfare work. Mention may be made of
the Bombay social service, seva sadan society, Maternity & infant welfare association the
depressed classes’ mission society & women institute of Bengal.
CENTERAL GOVERNMENT:-
The central Government tries to extend its helping hand through various acts covering the
safety, health & welfare of workers. It also administers the implementation of industrial &
labour laws .The important acts which as follows. The factories act 1948, Mines act 1952,
Shipping act 1948, Employees state Insurance Act 1948, Plantation labour Act 1951, etc.
THE FACTORY ACT 1948:-
CONTROL OF EFFLUENTS:
Accordingly when the process of sanitation is done the wastage is industrial process is
eliminated and that wastage is eliminated through the process of sewage. This eliminated
waste should be taken care off as this waste material is also harmful for the environment.
Emphasis should be given on reduction of waste material.
SUPPLY OF NECESSARY BEVERAGES, AND PILLS AND TABETS :SALT TABLET MILK AND
SODA
While being in exhaust place and working there from long period, leads to lack of energy that
gives birth to stress and compulsive nature. Employees should be provided with milk, soda,
other mineral drinks in intervals so that they are able to carry on their work in good position.
CANTEEN SERVICES:
Company should provide their workers canteen service also as it is beneficial for both company,
it will save their time and workers will get their meal. Canteen should provide good nutritious
food to the workers.
MANAGEMENT OF WORKERS:
Workers should be well managed, according to work. Company should manage the proper
distribution of the workers in each task so that employees are able to complete their task
MEDICAL INSURANCE:
Company must be sure about medical insurance to their employee for the welfare of the
employees. (ESI & EMI)
COMPENSATION:
Company should compensate their employee and their family members in respect of medical
treatment.
WOMEN AND CHILD WELFARE:
Companies now usually make compound in their employees workers live with their family. For
the welfare purpose, women and child must be lead with education programmes, provision of
loan to the employees for the education of child should be there, and recreational parks should
be there for the women and child.
RECREATION:
Recreation comprises of various activities like social cultural programmes for the women’s, and
playgrounds for their children, extra curricular activities should be there.
EDUCATION:
Education facility to the women and children for their welfare, grant of the loan to the
employee for better education of their children
SCHOOLS:
Schools is a major associated thing with our country for its bright future and if it’s provided to
the employees by the company for their children and themselves
TRASNSPORT:
Companies have employees from various places nearby their province. They should provide
them with transport facility for their convenience. It will be good in respect of both company
and employee.
COMUNICATION:
Communication is essential to carry on the work, and to maintain the relationship, company
should have its own flexible communication system that is suitable for the welfare of the
company and its employees.
RECREATION; GAMES AND CULBS, CULTURAL PROGRAMMES:
Continuous working with no other activity leads to stress, and then sometimes to depression
company should have recreational facilities it should have its own playground and on regular
interval tournament of various games should be made. Beside games company should have its
own clubs fir the company members; they should arrange different cultural programmes for the
welfare of the employees.
Security deserve its own importance company should have its own security team headed with
its own security officer, security is essential for confidential documents, goods, semi finished
goods, raw material and primarily of residential compounds so that any misconduct act will not
happen.
HOUSING FACILITY:
Company has moreover large no. of employees working there, some were from the neighboring
places and some from the places situated far away from its compound. Company should have
housing facilities for those employees who have come to serve company with their best
performance.
Welfare services are not charity to workers but are necessary for the organization to achieve its
goals. There is a distinct relationship between welfare measure and the worker’s productivity
which is described below:
1- The welfare work of an employer largely differentiates attitude towards the workers
in the employment market. It serves to attract and keep a better workforce for the
work in relation to other organizations.
2- Generally, the existence of these benefits gives an idea to the workers that these are
non monetary gains. It will give him a different kind of motivation to feel loyal to the
organization and work devotedly for achieving the desired results.
3- Such service facilities like housing scheme, medical benefits, education and
recreational facilities for worker’s families help create contented worker’s families.
This will help them to devote themselves towards their work. The gain in terms of
productivity and quality of work will be large indeed.
4- Employee’s services also serve to maintain some degree of peace with the
employee’s union in as much as these constitute a considerable part of the
bargaining package. The harmony and the good relations that result in the kingpin of
higher productivity.
The various approaches to labour welfare reflect the attitudes and benefits of the agencies
which are engaged in welfare activities. Welfare facilities may be provided on religion,
philanthropic or some other ground. More over, the different approaches to labour welfare
reflect the evolution of the concept of welfare. In bygone days, the government of the land had
to compel the owner of an industry establishment to provide such basic amenities as canteens,
rest room drinking water, good working condition, and so forth, for their employees. Such
compulsion was necessary because the employer believed in exploiting labour and treating it in
an unfair manner. But times have changed and the concept of welfare, too, has undergone
change. Much progressive management today provides welfare facilities, voluntarily and with
enlightened willingness and enthusiasm. In fact, welfare facilities are not restricted to the
worker alone.
A study of the approaches to labour welfare is desirable for the management, the workers and
the general reader. For the general reader, a study of approaches is essential his/her
knowledge of the subject is incomplete without knowledge of these approaches, and
knowledge of approaches enables the manager and the worker to have a better perspective on
welfare work.
POLICING THEORY
A welfare state cannot remain a passive spectator of this limitless exploitation. It enacts
legislation under which management are compelled to provide basic amenities to the workers.
The state assumes the role of a policeman, and compels the managers of industrial
establishments to provide welfare facilities, and punishes the non – complier. This is the
policing theory of labour welfare.
RELIGION THEORY
The religion theory has two connotations, namely, the investment and atonement aspects. The
investment aspect of the religion theory implies that the fruits of today’s deed will be reaped
tomorrow. Any action, good or bad, is therefore treated as an investment. Inspired by this
belief, some employers plan and organize canteens. The atonement aspect of the religion
theory implies that the present disabilities of a person are the result of the sins committed by
her/ his previously. He / She should undertake to do good deeds now to atone or compensate
for his/ her sins.
PHILANTHROPIC THEROY
Philanthropic means affection for mankind. The philanthropic theory of labour welfare refers to
the provision of good working conditions, crèches and canteens out of pity on the part of the
employers who want to remove the disabilities of the workers.
PATERNALISTIC THEORY
This theory is also called the trusteeship theory, of the labour welfare, the industrialist or the
employer holds the total industrial estate, properties and the profit accruing from them, in
trust. The trusteeship is not actual and legal, but it is moral and, therefore, not less real.
PLACATING THEORY
This theory is based on the assumption that appeasement pays when the workers are organized
and are militant. Peace can be bought by welfare measures. Workers are like children who are
intelligent, but not fully so. As crying children are pacified by sweets, workers should be pleased
by welfare works.
PUBLIC RELATIONS THEORY
According to this theory, welfare activities are provided to create a good impression on the
minds of the workers and the public, particularly the latter. Clean and safe working conditions,
a good canteen, crèche and other amenities, make a god impression on the workers, visitors
and the public.
FUNCTIONAL THEORY
Also known as the efficiency theory of labour welfare, the functional theory implies that
welfare facilities are provided to make the workers more efficient. If workers are fed properly,
clothed adequately and treated kindly, and if the conditions of their work are congenial, they
will work efficiently. Welfare work is a means of securing, preserving and increasing the
efficiency of labour.
SOCIAL THEORY
The social obligation of an industrial establishment has been assuming great significance these
days. The social theory implies that a factory is morally bound to improve the condition of the
society in addition to improving the condition of its employees. Labour welfare, as mentioned
earlier, is gradually becoming social welfare.
