A report released on Wednesday by two members of the British Parliament asks tobacco companies to guarantee freedom of association for farm laborers, some of whom live in conditions described as squalid while toiling on North Carolina farms. Labor Party members Jim Sheridan and Ian Lavery’s report followed a July fact-finding trip to migrant camps and tobacco fields, which was led by the Toledo-based Farm Labor Organizing Committee. The eight-page report, “A Smokescreen for Slavery: Human Rights Abuses in UK Supply Chains,” details the duo’s findings and observations during the multiday visit to North Carolina....British American Tobacco, in a written statement responding to the report, said it takes seriously allegations of poor working conditions but noted the company doesn’t own tobacco farms, employ farm workers, or control Reynolds...A spokesman for Reynolds did not return requests for comment.
