It's not slavery. Something is better than nothing. At least they are getting employment in UK although underpaid. In India, they would have struggled more.

Most workers are women, though some are men. The majority are Indian, with a few from Eastern Europe. All are wearing masks and the managers say that everyone receives at least the minimum wage. Their faces are recorded when they clock in and out to ensure their hours are correct.

Another lady stood up and said: ‘I worked at the same factory for two days and they deducted £70 from my salary.’ Then a third said: ‘I was working at that factory. I challenged the owner… He threatened me in the middle of the floor, saying: I’ll beat you here. I had to run out of the factory. I went to police and I got a restraining order against him’… This was just yesterday – three people in one factory. The problems run real deep in Leicester. It was heartbreaking to hear all these stories.”

Auditors themselves are threatened. “My name doesn’t come out or I’ll get killed,” says Rishi, who has been assaulted in a factory.

I am harsh with my tongue but you have got to be living in the west especially Britain or they walk all over you .

Religion has nothing to do with this it’s not Hindu - Muslim it’s exploitation of poor people
IMO the owners of such practices should be sent away to jail for a long long time

This is not Charles Dickens Britain it’s 2023 this shit has to stop and a fair wage must be given to the workers
