    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.

      [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.

    “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.
