Viewing cable 10MADRID117, CHILD LABOR AND FORCED LABOR IN SPAIN

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

SUBJECT: CHILD LABOR AND FORCED LABOR IN SPAIN 
 
REF: STATE 131995 
 
 Post found no evidence of the use of child or forced labor 
in the production of specific goods in Spain.  There have 
been reports of men being trafficked for forced labor in the 
agriculture and construction sectors, but officials from the 
Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and workers' rights NGO 
Accem said that these were largely isolated instances and 
that they are quickly corrected.  International Labor 
Organization country director Juan Felipe Hunt agreed that 
Spain has not seen problems of child labor or forced labor 
for the production of specific goods.  Hunt told Econoff that 
while there were occasional reports of child labor, mainly 
working in small family businesses or agriculture, the 
government of Spain rapidly responds and corrects the 
situation.
