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.

Well if you work all day and have no idea if you are going to get paid or not because you can not litigate or persue that kind of action.......I don't know....I don't think they have much choice in whether they work or not either... I'm just going to go look up slavery........
