We have more than enough resources for everyone. We could easily feed the entire fucking world, and provide medical care, and housing.

But we choose not to, because a few want more than their fair share.

It is immoral to continue like this.

More #migrant #workers claim #UK farm #exploitation

Nearly 700 foreign seasonal agricultural labourers complained to the Worker Support Centre (WSC) charity in 2024 they were being treated unfairly by farmers who had brought them over to work, compared to just over 400 in 2023.

Ms Casimiro is currently taking the company to an employment tribunal over claims of unfair dismissal, discrimination and underpayment of wages, and now campaigns for better protection for seasonal farm workers.

In an initial ruling, the Home Office found there were reasonable grounds to believe that Ms Casimiro could have been a victim of modern slavery.
One man, from Kyrgyzstan, who worked on different farms in England and Scotland on and off over three years, told the WSC he had been expected to live in poor conditions, been discriminated against and been unfairly dismissed.

The worker, who wanted to remain anonymous to protect future job opportunities, told the BBC through a translator that he felt standards had got worse over that time and farm employers did not care about workers' wellbeing, or level of pay.

Two Palestinians, including a child, were killed on Thursday in the central Gaza Strip amid a ceasefire agreement in the enclave, a medical source said.

The source said a Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli snipers and his body was recovered in the Bureij refugee camp in Deir al-Balah city.

A child also lost his life when an unexploded ordnance left behind by Israeli forces exploded in the Nuseirat refugee camp, the source added.
