A BBC article on Scottish firm Finlays Tea, very plausible example of modern slavery. Shameful if true. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-60151820

Quote: the pickers claim they were routinely asked to work up to 12 hours a day without a break, for six days a week, earning in 2017 an average monthly wage of £100. Pickers had to harvest a minimum of 30kg (4st 10lb) of tea to be paid anything at all, it was claimed.
