Three suspected slave masters are under arrest after a raid on a factory rescued 20 eastern Europeans working 80-hour weeks for £25 pay. The raid on the premises in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, came during an ongoing operation by the authorities against human trafficking...Police also found 10 eastern European immigrants living in terrible conditions in a house, with up to three or four people sleeping in each room. Officers discovered they were being taken to work in a factory in Rochdale each day, where they were being paid less than £2 an hour. When police raided the factory, they found a workforce of 20 eastern European immigrants working 80-hour weeks, enforced by the men who owned and ran it. DI James Faulkner of Great Manchester police said: “The men and women working in the factory have told us that they were subjected to physical and verbal assaults at the hands of their employers and forced to work more than 80-hours before ending up with around £25 for their week’s work. This is a typical example of how modern slavery can work in the UK.
