8th February 2011

The exploitation of tens of thousands of migrants used to grow salad vegetables for British supermarkets has been uncovered by a Guardian special investigation into the £1.6 billion hothouse industry in southern Spain.

Charities working with illegal workers during the 2011 harvest claim the abuses meet the UN’s official definition of modern-day slavery, with some workers having their pay withheld for complaining.
