slaves aren't paid, though, and these workers are. for me, the saddest thing about those conditions isn't that workers have to endure them, but that they voluntarily endure them. whether it's because either the pay is high enough or the job is better than any other job they can find or a combination of the two, the important thing to realize about these working conditions is that people are fighting to get/keep these jobs because the other jobs are worse. industrialization is messy and horribly exploitative.
