I think the definition for slave labour is that the labourer is forced to work under a real threat of violence - coercion or just being taken advantage of is not sufficient.
- finid 12y agoThat's a very narrow definition of slave labor. The threat of losing your job if you don't work under stipulated conditions, especially when those conditions are live threatening, creates a slave-labor condition. Sure, you could quit, but you've got bills to pay and mouths to feed, so you slave on. Take what's happening to foreign workers in Qatar, for example. There's really no direct threat of violence, but workers die daily because the working conditions are that dangerous.
- aminok 12y agoIt's the correct definition of slavery. If I were to arbitrarily stretch the definition of words, I could find a way to define your style of communication as a form of slavery, to malign you, as you are doing to low wage free labour.
