What makes you think the workers have any other choice? They're not "willing" if it's wage slavery.
What makes you think the people injured by pollution are willing? When exactly did they give their consent in this transaction?
(the knee-jerk response to both is "government regulations", but those are so thoroughly captured/corrupted that no real consent is transmitted)

They're not "willing" if it's wage slavery. that's like saying we are all physics slaves because the universe imposes the laws of physics on us... slavery means a specific thing. when a person is owned as property and has no right and must obey his master on pain of death. don't stretch the word >What makes you think the people injured by pollution are willing? When exactly did they give their consent in this transaction? Im still waiting on the my nuclear reparation money from the USA for all the extra exposure from all those atmospheric nuclear tests nobody in the world has a legitimate pollution compensation scheme >This seems equally likely in China. well since im paying less for stuff from china im definitely paying less for a 1% yacht
