Slavery is a heinous form of labor exploitation that is illegal in Western Europe and most of the industrialized world. On the other hand, "neo-slavery" oppresses the powerless by exploiting them with low wages and employment practices that primarily benefit the employer. This book delves into the most exploitative forms of slavery, neo-slavery, and human trafficking within the hotel industry, offering insights into empowerment through liberative trade unions and worker co-operatives. The study employs a multifaceted cross-cultural approach, including in-depth chapters on Brazil and the Netherlands, along with numerous examples from the UK, exposing the issue as an international problem.

Written by international specialists, this significant book has wide appeal to upper-level students and researchers in hospitality, particularly those interested in human resource management in the hospitality and hotel industry, as well as human rights issues and business ethics.
