The Gangmasters Licensing Authority (GLA) was created under the Gangmasters (Licensing) Act 2004 to curb the exploitation of workers in the agriculture, forestry, horticulture, shellfish gathering, and food processing and packaging industries. From May 2017, renamed the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), it also exercises police-style powers to investigate labour abuse and exploitation across all aspects of the UK labour market. There are public registers, codes of practice, guidance, newsletters, information on licensing procedures, and links to legislation including regulations.
