Bulgarian Strawberyy Pickers Slave in Britain

[Suzanne]

Three hundred immigrant workers from Bulgaria were fired by a British strawberry farm following a month of virtual slavery. The Bulgarians have been dismissed without notice and have no money to go home, Deutsche Welle reported. The conditions in the farm were terrifying. Four persons had to share a room of 8 square metres, furnished with a refrigerator, table and four beds. One hundred workers had to use four bathrooms.

That is horrific. I can't believe that in this day and age this still goes on. Its really not acceptable.
