While the United Kingdom may be at the forefront of trying to stamp out slavery and other forms of forced labour, a report by the country’s anti-slavery enforcement agency has found that exploitation and abuse of workers is widespread across the U.K. economy, with a wide range of industrial sectors being prone to the mistreatment of employees.
Ranging from wages theft to slavery, the United Kingdom’s Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) has identified agriculture, construction, hotels, food and catering, and warehouse work as among some of the key areas that are prone to using slave labour.
