09:20 Overseas slavery laws stamping out NZ labour abuses

A fear of losing overseas customers is driving the horticulture industry to clean up its act on labour exploitation, often of migrant workers. The Labour Inspectorate in the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment says supermarkets in the UK, Europe and the West Coast of America are increasingly cancelling contracts with  suppliers which cannot prove they are exploitation free. This is being underpinned by domestic law such as the British Modern Slavery Act that requires strict labour standards as part of product quality. Kathryn Ryan talks to Gary Jones from Pipfruit New Zealand, and George Mason who is a General manager of Employment services at MBIE.
