A Bolivian worker, who resided in Chile, supported by the United Voices of the World union has filed a legal claim against Haygrove fruit company in the UK. The worker led the first recorded wildcat strike by UK seasonal workers. Her claim is for unlawful deduction of wages, unfair dismissal, discrimination and harassment. The Guardian reports the worker said there was no drinking water available on the farm, that they had to travel long distances during which they were not paid, that workers were billed for the difference between guide and real prices for flights. The worker also cited the impact on her mental health.

In comments to the Guardian, the director of Haygrove stated they "believe that [the worker's] position is born out of her short-lived, atypical, snapshot experience which coincided with extreme harvesting conditions".

In January 2023, the Independent reported the Home Office had decided in a preliminary ruling there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the worker could have been a victim of modern slavery; her case will be investigated further by the government.
