Britain needed to resolve a conflict between the principles of free trade (which Britain was more and more adopting) and the institution of slavery.
Concerns about slave revolts indeed were indeed part of Britain's pragmatic decisions to end its participation in the slave trade in 1807 and phasing out slavery in its empire starting in 1834.

Explanation:
The Cuban <em>'Código de Trabajo</em>' is the current law which since 2014 regulates how foreign businesses can hire Cuban staff.
In very exceptional cases, firms can hire workers directly but, in general, it has be done through public agencies known as 'hiring entities'. In fact, workers are employed by these entities, and not by the foreign enterprises. Wages are paid by foreign companies in CUCs (Cuban convertible currency) together with a compensation called <em>heberes. </em>Then, the hiring entities pay the <em>haberes </em>to the employees in the Cuban local peso currency (CUPs).
Hence, hiring entities is a large source of funding for the Cuban goverment, as they receive full 'Western' wages, but only transfer the quantity called <em>haberes </em>to the employees, which is in line with the Cuban wage level. So they earn the difference as an income tax. Also, the public sector is able to control the population occupations in great detail through those agencies.
