Thanet Earth or Tilmanstone Salads as it used to be called has come under fire as migrant workers accuse firms of using gangmaster labour
The site supplies the likes of Tesco,M&S Asda etc and employs about 300 people but Unite union alleges that some employment employees in positions of authority of taking cash and gifts for work, denial of paid holidays. It also states that most of the workers are treated as casual labour and don't have any contracts.
The company originally boasted they would create 500 jobs for local Kent residents but I know from friends who work there that the management only very rarely take on local people and about 95% of the workforce is made up of recently arrived immigrants who (allegedly) have the right to work in the UK. Apparently the Gangmaster Licensing Authority is looking into the allegations.
