>Saying someone on by low wage job is 'modern slavery' is pretty obtuse when real life actual slavery is happening right now in parts of the world.
This is exactly the reason I used "modern slavery".
- DanBC 11y ago"Modern slavery" does not include "low paid menial work". Modern spavery exists in several different forms: actual slavery, bonded labour, and forced labour. Employment compliant with US law is unlikely to meet those definitions. (Although children working in US tobacco farms is legal and problematic). http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2013/apr/03/modern-day-slavery-explainer http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2013/apr/03/mo... http://www.antislavery.org/english/slavery_today/what_is_modern_slavery.aspx http://www.antislavery.org/english/slavery_today/what_is_mod... Maybe you meant "wage slave"? There's probably better terms, becase as soon as you mention "slave" people will think you mean slavery, and "wage slaves" are not in any sense slaves.
- toddh 11y agoI've done a lot of cleaning and as a job I generally liked it. You have a set task, you see the result, and when you are done you are done. It can be quite rewarding. The pay sucked, but that's far from slavery.
- devgutt 11y agoInteresting. Although I could afford it, I never allowed myself to hire cleaners because I refused to explore a person to clean my own mess. My mess, my responsibility, I clean it. It's interesting to know that people would willingly work with cleaning even if they have other options.
- zzalpha 11y agoAnd yet my mom runs a cleaning business and quite enjoys the satisfaction she gets from the work. So yes: you're wrong.
