Unit 4: CSR - Salad Slaves - Supermarkets and Corporate Irresponsibility?

A terrific and detailed video resource here from the Guardian - perfectly timed for students wanting something substantial to discuss as part of their research into corporate social responsibility…


The exploitation of tens of thousands of migrants used to grow salad vegetables for British supermarkets has been uncovered by a Guardian special investigation into the £1.6 billion hothouse industry in southern Spain.

Charities working with illegal workers during the 2011 harvest claim the abuses meet the UN’s official definition of modern-day slavery, with some workers having their pay withheld for complaining.
