    No business that wants to stay in business won’t let employees drink water for 6 hours while working them hard. And yes someone could carry out an illegal act and I am sure it has occurred but unless you had a gun to your head, who doesn’t just get a drink of water.

      “no business that wants to stay in business locks it’s fire exits”

      and yet…

      I’m not saying every business does this, just I think it’s short-sighted off you to say that not a single one would either.

      I mean we all know our candy bars, and sneakers and engagement rings are made by tiny children at gunpoint for 25 cents a week, so it boggles the mind that you think the same companies that would commit corporate genocide would think twice about preventing domestic employees from being comfortable.

        That is not people working in Western nations. This post was regarding a person working here making big claims this was a common thing. I can bs on that.

            Give me the source where a US company hired kids at 25c an hour and worked them under gunpoint.

                Again you provided a source for countries that have employees child labor of which the US is not on there or no Western nations.

                Is there a reason you would give sources that have nothing to do with what has been claimed here?

                    A person said a place he worked at would not let them drink water for 6 hours and I called bullshit. Then you try and claim it must be true because shit happens in other countries. Tell me what American company is forcing kids or anyone to work at gunpoint so that you can’t even get a glass of water?
