You may very well have a point. However, low wages and poor working conditions aren't, in themselves, signs of slavery. It's only when you have no choice, and can't walk away from it.

What is slavery?

Common characteristics distinguish slavery from other human rights violations. A slave is:

* forced to work -- through mental or physical threat;

* owned or controlled by an 'employer', usually through mental or physical abuse or threatened abuse;

* dehumanised, treated as a commodity or bought and sold as 'property';

* physically constrained or has restrictions placed on his/her freedom of movement.
