Title: All Work and Low Pay - Panorama
Description: Current affairs. With millions of people enduring pay

hour, Panorama goes undercover to reveal how some employers
exploit loopholes or get round the rules so workers do not
even get paid that minimum. And it speaks to others,
especially the young, who feel they are being forced to
accept low - or even no - pay just to get work

dangerous cancer-causing substance called benzo(a)pyrene.

plants to produce a smog so bad that in winter weather it
forces schoolchildren, the elderly and the vulnerable to
stay indoors
