PurposeTo conceptualise the labour supply chain and its relationship with product supply chains. In doing so, we call for research that follows the flow of labour to advance the field of operations and supply chain management (OSCM) towards decent work in supply chains.Design/methodology/approachThis paper provides a real-time case study of modern slavery in the wine, apple and poultry supply chains in Southern Brazil with interviews including workers, farmers and a multitude of stakeholders.FindingsBy following the flow of labour, we uncover how temporary workers are used to manage product seasonality, and the role of hidden actors such as labour providers and charities. We show that different product supply chains tend to mimic each other and share the same pool of temporary workers to ensure flexibility at low cost, while exploiting workers.Originality/valueFor decades the OSCM field has used frameworks that follow the product to improve efficiency and traceability. Yet, labour flows across product supply chains remain untraceable. Our research calls for a dynamic perspective on labour to set the basis for an emerging research agenda on the interplay of product and labour flows in supply chains to advance decent work.

Despite increasing attention to human trafficking since the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, knowledge gaps about labor trafficking remain. Issues such as legal inconsistencies, sector-specific vulnerabilities, and limited training for stakeholders hinder effective prosecution, often leading to outcomes that inadequately address the gravity of these crimes. While research has focused primarily on victims, less attention has been given to perpetrators. This exploratory study examines labor trafficking arrests from 2011 to 2022, using descriptive analysis to profile traffickers, assess control methods, and explore trends in criminal prosecution. Findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions, improved data collection, and standardized legal frameworks to better address labor trafficking in the U.S.
