Brits heading to the Balearics have been warned of exploitation and slavery (Image: IbizaSpotlight) Thousands of young people travelling to popular holiday destinations including Ibiza , Majorca and Menorca to work in bars and clubs have been given advice on the dangers of modern slavery and labour exploitation. Border Force officers have been running Operation Karetu at 22 airports across the UK, targeting young people travelling to work in Mediterranean destinations who could be at risk of exploitation, criminality and illegal working. Officers have spoken to 1,000 young Brits so far during the month-long operation, providing them with leaflets and guidance on avoiding the risks involved as unofficial public relations (PR) reps – work that involves touting people into clubs and bars.
Young holidaymakers who travel abroad every year to work in the hospitality industry risk being forced to work long hours for low wages. Risks include working illegally due to a lack of knowledge about EU employment regulations or being exploited by serious organised criminal gangs. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
