#PrisonLabour in the Spotlight, as #Incarncerated #California #Firefighters Risk Lives for $5 to $10 a day

#LAWildfires

Many of the people battling the fires around Los Angeles are prison inmates being paid around $6-10/day with much worse working conditions than normal firefighters.

We used to call this slavery.

#Alabama is Generating Billions by Trapping People in #Prison

Farming people out to places like McDonald's to work for FREE. Corporations ans the state of ALABAMA EXPLOITING #PRISONLABOUR

Other scumbag companies and government agencies, etc: Burger King, Wendy's, The State Troopers' Office, the parole office

#AlabamaWorkReleaseProgramme

We (like Americans) also have modern slavery in the form of prison labour.
Recently, #Canadaland did a 3-part mini-series on prison labour as a part of their larger series on labour in general. This form of modern slavery takes advantage of BIPOC bodies.

If we want to abolish slavery, the work is not done yet.

Yeah, like no shit.
#Germany for examply is anything but #socialist - not even the #GDR was but that's beyond the point.

#SocialSafetyNets are a way to keep #SocialPeace in lieu of #militarizing #police and using #PrisonLabour as #Neoslavery for cheap #labour.
Because happy or at least content workers are more comfortable and less likely to demand meaningful &fundamental change...

Because that's literally why the state mandates living standards:

We need #reparations, major prison amnesty, an end to #prisonlabour, an end to the #DrugWar, an end to discrimination in banking, massive reconstruction in cities, a federal #JobsGuarantee, and a 21st century #WarOnPoverty, as a start. Until then, don't pretend #equality exists.

@nisreen
Oh, we are. Trust. We are. I've thrown words at Gov #Newsom because he prefers to continue making money off of enslaved #PrisonLabour over banning #slavery in the state of #California.

We just don't get as much time in the #media as people saying things remotely tangential to #football.

I thought I'd do a Mastodon #introduction to find the right communities on this platform. I'm a Professor of Human Rights and Labour Law at UCL.

I have a book coming out soon with OUP on Structural Injustice and Workers' Rights.

I just finished a short paper on the Right to Work for the Encyclopedia of the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy, where I also explore some of my newer research interests under the heading of forced labour:

#WelfareConditionality and #PrisonLabour

We know the #meatIndustry is devoid of ethics and often abuses #migrants and slave #prisonLabour.

But…

We can't share just how depraved it is. An interview with the Chief Investigator for the #HumaneFarmingAssociation, #GailEisnitz and author of 'Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the US Meat Industry' is #banned because its on #RT.

Searx results also seem to be #censored.
