Not a good look for India.
Have they heard of unions?
- Pfhreak 6y agoYour statement is ambiguous. I assume you mean the exploitation of these workers (by continuing to reduce their wages) is not a good look?
- person_of_color 6y agoIn a first world country, the first port of call is not violence...
- bigbubba 6y agoWhen people have no faith in the system, they take matters into their own hands. People are morally entitled to justice so if the only justice available is extrajudicial, people have a moral right to pursue that.
- person_of_color 6y agoSo you think it's alright to smash buildings to protest illegal police brutality?
- bigbubba 6y agoIn principle yes; if there is no effective remedy against an abusive government other than violence, then violence against that government is morally justifiable. An uncontroversial example of this might be Polish guerillas assassinating German officers during WWII.
- Pfhreak 6y agoI'm not sure you are describing the situation here. What other things did these workers try? What other avenues were available to them? (Also, destroying corporate property is not violence.)

- spoonjim 6y agoIt's because people in the US don't do shit like this that they slave away for $7.25 an hour begging for a half day off. It would not take too many CEO cerebellums on pavements for corporate behaviors to change considerably.
