or religion.
However, and I hate to say it, I find Drich to have an argument here.
At what point does a condition in which one is not able or allowed for financial reasons to leave employment or to question conditions of employment constitute slavery?
At what point is a particularly low wage essentially no wage at all?
If such a plant worker transfers with a change of plant ownership, is this not effectively a sale of the worker?
The power disparity between the multi-billionaires of our society and the dollar-a-day workers of the third world is much greater than that of the classic southern plantation master and slave.
Effectively this is slavery in all but name and exceedingly common. Denying this while profiting from it, say by buying cheap consumer goods at S-Mart, is what Drich, and I, consider hypocrisy.
