Why u post crap, OP? the actual link with the actual reporting is right there in what you posted:
So you could complain. My work is done.
Not the hero they needed, but the one they deserved
Because he's a fucking tankie.
Being called a tankie doesn’t scare me, like it scares you. Maybe ask yourself why?
What?
Take your meds, grandpa
Someone’s never been to a part of the world where the bbc is blocked. And it shows.
BBC blocked?
Vietnam. And I’d bet many others around here too.
The difference between the jacobin article and the bbc article is astronomical. The first one is meaningless garbage. The second is just an article, and I'm not a BBC Stan, but c'mon. If Jacobin is all you can get, then just turn it off.
I got they were using a supplier using slaves. What was missed.
You didn't read any of it did you?
Yes I did but I’m not typing out all the names or the entire story. And I’ll wait till I can read it across a few other platforms as well. Never trust a new story. So again what was missed.
The BBC article writers/editors did all the reporting and effort, and jacobin just posted an AI generated summary that missed all the details. If you never trust a new story, you are still susceptible to propaganda memes and shit articles that get repeated.
Then why not post the BBC article to counter this “meaningless garbage?”
They said they did not know it was slave labor. Do you believe them?
I read two articles and didn't see any indication that the store managers or HR employees were actually investigated. Until there's an investigation, I'm going to use common sense, which suggests that several people (or more) knew something was extremely wrong.
since when was ignorance ever a real legal defense, anyways?
Wow, I assumed this was related to the use of prison labor in Alabama. I guess McDonald's has a long ways to go before they get to "better".
According to the suit, C.B.A.K., a McDonald’s franchisee, employed at least 122 incarcerated workers between 2018 (the beginning of the period covered by the suit) and September 2023. C.B.A.K. workers allegedly were coerced to work for the company. The suit alleges that violent and unsafe conditions within the Alabama prison system, in addition to the ADOC’s prohibition of work stoppages, effectively coerced workers into accepting employment.
One McDonald’s worker, who asked for time off for mental health, was told “any failure to work, even for health reasons, will be considered a refusal to work and will result in a disciplinary offense,” per the suit.
At least one worker at an Alabama Kentucky Fried Chicken was denied parole after refusing to work due to a low wage rate that was subject to deductions by prison officials...The DOC’s system of deductions meant workers nominally paid Alabama’s $7.25 minimum wage earned, in effect, as little “$2.06 per hour.”
Lol their smells like food that is made with piss idk why anyone would eat there.
"Their fries tho!"
They suck too. Even if they didn't, they'd still be fries, even Taco Bell has fries, and theirs are actually kind of good.
What I will admit is that they're probably the best place to get a breakfast you eat in your car because you're late to work.
