Anything and everything to avoid treating people decently.
Literally everything about this is evil. Not only is it making a slave of someone who is more likely to be falsely convicted at this point (as if it’s acceptable truly convicted), but they’re also fucking up the job market by keeping a ready stock of “other fish in the sea who will deal with it” despite their lack of “will” in the scenario. Even ignoring all that, do you want a murderer or rapist to have anything to do with preparing your food? Jesus fucking antichrist!
Was going to read the article and explain why this is sensationalized but god damn they take 40% of their earnings at 7.25/hr.
Nobody works for 7.25. They should be required to pay them a competitive rate and nobody should be allowed to take a cut. It should be going towards their own betterment. You cant justify 40% wage cost for transportation to the job.
And if they blow off work for illegitimate reasons then there should never be any kind of punishment other than potential disqualification from further employment there like a normal person.
This is 100% reason enough to raise rhe minimum wage by itself. The prison system is really scary…
When is it going to be okay to be violent towards the evil people without being sanctioned by my local evil organization?
Of fucking course it’s Alabama. I’m staying in this state for a week right now and I gotta tell you, the south fucking SUCKS.
I just found out about the shooting yesterday. I’m going to Birmingham in just a couple days. Now I find out about this fascist bullshit?
In the Nov election California is going to vote on a bill to end involuntary work for prisoners
but who will we feed to the fire gods now
“Wage slave”
Slave labor.
Neat, the two things I’ve wanted to abolish since I was a teen are teaming up.
Slavery and Alabama?
Fucking abhorrent behavior from the State.
Eat. The. Rich. Open. The. Doors.
Another red state shit hole.
Holy fucking shit if McDonald’s doesn’t terminate all the involved owners’ franchise agreements, they’re fucking complicit.
Id be pretty surprised if McDonalds doesn’t knowingly use prison slave labor somewhere in their supply chain already.
