Leading organisations and industry bodies within UK food production, retail and horticulture have joined forces to tackle the scourge of modern day slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and other hidden migrant worker exploitation...In 2012, 29 per cent of cases of labour exploitation reported to the UK Human Trafficking Centre occurred within the food processing and agricultural sectors. The "Stronger Together" initiative...is about equipping UK employers with the knowledge and resource to recognise the signs of exploitation and to tackle it in the food and agriculture industries. It was developed by the Association of Labour Providers (ALP), the Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA) and Migrant Help with sponsorship by five UK retailers: the Co-operative Food, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose.
