Migrant farm workers are still routinely forced to live and work in unsafe, often desperate conditions, held against their will in what amounts to a modern manifestation of slavery. In Immokalee, Florida, the tomato capital of the world - which has earned the dubious distinction of being ground zero for modern slavery' - farm workers organised themselves into the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and launched a nationwide boycott campaign that forced some of the biggest global multi-nationals including McDonalds and Burger King to recognise their demands.'
