Modern Slavery from Arise VS

I'm shocked a company with such practices exists in the USA in 2021. I wish workers rights are brought up more often during presidential and mid term elections.

This is really, really terrible.<p>But he should not have compared it to Anne Frank in the attic.<p>In nuanced conversation, it should be possible to believe both of the preceding two sentences at the same time.

TL;DR: A scummy company that charges people money for training and equipment, and has people pay off this debt along with interest.<p>This is a shitty situation, and it should be illegal. But calling this slavery and throwing up a picture of galley rowing slaves is grossly inappropriate. People are not turned into property. This is coercion through debt. Also galleys rowers were a skilled or at least semi skilled occupation, a task rarely given to slaves and at least in the ancient world navies it commanded higher pay than infantry.

&gt; So even though these workers are more tightly supervised and managed than any regular employee, they have no rights.<p>Except that they have the right to quit. Any article that calls workers with the right to quit is hyperbolic and already made me doubt other &quot;facts&quot; that are written.<p>&gt; The DoL was a known problem in 2010. &gt; One of Trump&#x27;s last-minute regulations was a rollback that protected workers from being misclassified as contractors. The Biden admin could reverse that regulation.<p>Well that wouldn&#x27;t fix the exact issue being described as happening in 2010.<p>This article (if true) has a lot of powerful things to right. Such as the cost for training and quiting or how businesses can decline to pay fees. As an article talking about misclassifying workers it does an awful job of misclassifying slavery.

do they call the training process University?

So much hyperbolic, reminds me why Twitter makes people hate everyone.<p>&gt; Biden faces an immediate, urgent test of his willingness to tackle worker misclassification<p>I guess put down that covid hat and put on his misclassification hat, stat?<p>But on topic, welcome to the working from home world some people are rushing to create.
