Labour
Almost always paid less than industrial average. UK
farmworkers only group controlled by law.
UK farming most dangerous workplace – 2 X higher rate
of fatalities compared to next worst – construction
Curry Report – basis of DEFRA sustainability, spells out
fatalities. HSE developed H&S qualifications
Elsewhere need for better wages shown by need for
Fairtrade, Ethical Trading Initiative etc. When will UK
have “Fairtrade carrots”?
