The Temporary Labour Working Group was a UK industry consortium set up to establish a set of minimum standards for employment agencies working in agriculture and horticulture.
It was founded in September 2002, convened by the Ethical Trading Initiative and managed by Impactt Limited.
[2] It produced a code of practice concerned with illegal and unsafe working.
"[4] Employment agencies (called "labour providers") were audited to check on actual working conditions.
Although signing up to the code was voluntary the Association of Labour Providers made it a requirement of membership and the Fresh Produce Consortium and the National Farmers Union recommended it.
