This can happen because, while slavery was abolished in 1865, the 13th amendment has a big loophole that carves out an exception to allow forced labor as a form of punishment - although 4 states recently rejected it.
In other words, McDonald's is a slaver. If you don't agree with slavery, don't patronize McDonald's.
So if working at McDonald's is now a form of punishment... What's that saying about the job itself even if you are being paid?
At what point can you be paid a low enough wage to where you're essentially working at McDonald's as a punishment for existing? Very weird standard their setting with this decision...
Not to mention, do you really want to eat somewhere where the food is prepared by people with a grudge? Because let me tell you, if I was forced to work anywhere for free, I'd do my best to botch the job six ways to Sunday.
Ya this is like the Nazis using forced labour for wartime factories. Sabotage is inevitable
That's not mayo...
Reminds me of "Arbeit macht frei" (work will set you free). -.-
The whole term "minimum wage" sort of means "you know we'd give you even less and treat you even worse, but we'd get into trouble"
