24 dollars a month. […] we were paid
10c an hour. I can totally see how this is not slave labor.
I’ll tell you what made it slave labor: could you quit that job?
I want to take up his point. It’s much more like medieval serfdom than slavery. Such as:
- Shit salary instead of no salary.
- Can’t me sold.
- Has rights (more than a slave, less than a free man)
Although serfs were bound to the land unlike US prisoners where they can be transferred from location to location.
