[McDonalds] said it cares “deeply” about all employees and promised that - working with franchisees - it would “play our part alongside government, NGOs [Non-governmental organisations] and wider society to help combat the evils of modern slavery”.
What fucking empty fucking tripe. They couldn’t give half a fuck. Burn all corps to the fuckin ground.

Yea missing the obvious warning signs like “gang members sitting in on job interviews”. Totally normal.

If businesses cant tell the difference between employees and slaves, then we all have a major fucking problem.

I mean, they’re “employing” slaves from the penal system already, so the line is blurry at best…

Without noticing or without caring? These thugs went to their victims' job interviews with them and forced them to work over 70 hours per week.

“without noticing” is pulling a lot of weight in that headline. Innocent until proven guilty and all that but I’m willing to bet there were at least some individuals ‘in’ on the deal.

Considering mcDs is moving towards prison labor now i absolutely believe they’ve at least deliberately crafted a hiring policy that allows for this and other abuses of labor and law.

I don’t know if this is true in the UK but in the US McD’s locations are nearly all franchises owned by local business owners. So McDonald’s the corporation could reasonably be unaware that the 15 (say) locations in Dallas TX owned by Horatio Hornblower were all staffed by trafficked persons.
I’m not saying this would absolve McDonald’s of responsibility but it would address the “being unaware” part.

How is enslaving people not a life in prison, buried under the jail type of crime? These victims should be allowed to beat their slaves to death in the town square

Typo there: you said “slaves” I think you meant slavers.
