My god.*
So basically... literal wage slaves? (like "shudra"/"dalit")
And it's still going on today, no? FML

They don't stay there - the elevator is just tiny.
I should hope an elevator like that wouldn't pass humanitarian or safety inspections in developed countries today.
They call the US a developed country, and I’d bet that there are a number of ~~companies~~ agencies who are ~~dying~~ killing to bring back those tiny elevators in the name of Efficiency.
We're doing progress, but in reverse!
So congress. Got t. 👍
Judging by the other person in the thread, the workers are just in a hurry to get home and are choosing to over pack to get out quicker. If you want some elbow space, wait at the back. It honestly doesn't look much different from elevators at any office building, but at least miners physically can't WFH.
