Ed Miliband will announce today that employers who exploit immigrants by offering them lower wages and worse conditions than British residents could be jailed under a Labour government. Mr Miliband will make clear he believes that employers can be guilty of a criminal offence when they use migrant labour to undercut the wages and working conditions of British employees. Under his plan, prosecutors would have to provide evidence that migrants were employed on "significantly different" terms from local workers, and that some abuse of power had occurred.
