How is that different from employment "slavery"?
Sounds like slavery or indentured servitude. Why do you accept it?
Restricting people's freedom so that they're forced to continue working for you? Congratulations, you've just invented slavery.
This sounds like slavery or indentured servitude, not a free market.
It's more like indentured servitude.
Except slavery is non-consensual whereas working in a shitty job isn't.
The article is talking about their not being paid, which means we're back into slavery again. Indentured servitude is also banned in the civilised world, so that's probably not a good way to defend yourself.
Slaves are held against their will. Workers submit voluntarily.
Sure, it’s just like slavery. Except the part where you get paid and you can leave anytime you want.
If you have to work to live then you are a slave.
