Even with English fluency, you cannot possibly know for certain whether your Manager is in on it or not. So who do you report it to? When are you free to go out into the community to "run errands" and "slip into a police station" unseen by your Enslavers!? I would expect the victims were not allowed out into the community after work, for food shopping or entertainment or anything. They probably had a bag of basics thrown at them once a week from their kidnappers.

To suggest McDonalds "missed" red flags of slavery mitigates the likelihood that they simply ignored them. The irony that treating all employees like slaves meant they didn't spot actual slaves should not be a defence. The law needs to hold business owners criminally accountable for employing slaves even if there are claims that they did not know.. especially if it is deemed reasonable by a court that they should have known.

In UK law the "Working Time Directive" states employees should not work more than 48 hours per week. So if employees opt out, especially if it's in their contract, that needs to mean an employer accepts additional responsibility to ensure slavery is not occurring under threat of criminal prosecution. Perhaps then, coercion to opt out by an employer would be mitigated.

So, after thinking abou it, I figured out why they're working so many hours. The managers are in the gang and they're giving them triple overtime so the gang can collect overtime pay from the corporation.

Alright I fully understand how this could happen in working in 'McSlavery', as people have long stressed how absolutely degrading working there really is for years now. But for this actually happen in not 1 but 6 renowned British supermarkets is completely unacceptable and gives real insight onto how the places we all buy food from uses outdated methods for how they employ their employ staff😲

@@madcircle0461 Don't reward each other for being people who would miss obvious red flags + shrug it off. Do you let your employees work 100 hours a week? They list several other red flags to look for so you + OC could be educating yourselves so you have a better chance of spotting it, but no --- you feel sorry + bad for THE BOSSES. What does that say about you? I thank you both for admitting that you are walking red flags.

So you would miss obvious red flags + shrug it off. Cool bro. Would you let your employees work 100 hours a week? That wouldn't bother you? The video lists several other red flags to look for so you could educate yourself so you have a better chance of spotting it, but no --- you feel sorry + bad for THE BOSSES. What does that say about you? You are a walking red flag & I hope no one near you needs help.

I used to work overtime quite a bit for money. How is that a sign of “slavery”? Should I snoop into employees lives? Also where does “feeling bad for the bosses “ come in? It’s not like they have broken any law.

Don't paint stripes on a horse & tell me its a Zebra. That franchise of McDonald's needs to be closed down. They knew exactly what they were doing, anyone with half a brain would know that money being paid into alt account, not in the victims name, as well as the long hours... is a MASSIVE indicator. The owners were in on it... I bet the call went like this: "Hey, want a bunch of cheap workers who will work for less than minimum? This is all you have to do" "Say no more, you had me at cheap workers" Shameless.
