There are so many levels of slavery its mind boggling. Its starts at the indentured level of servitude right up to the boss hassling you daily to go get his coffee. Pick an entry point. 

 

This is not about getting coffee for your boss, from the article: “many migrant workers fall victim to unscrupulous recruitment brokers and find themselves in irrepayable debt, without documentation, working in unbearable conditions, and no access to the outside world.”

 

For a closer look at what actually goes on, I suggest you read this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/27/world/outlaw-ocean-thailand-fishing-sea-slaves-pets.html

 

This is not only about exploiting migrant workers, it’s straight up kidnapping!

Thank you Mr. 164 posts for your comments. Once you reach a 1000 we should revisit things. I am making a comparison of the levels of slavery from the extreme to the smallest of smallest. Topics do give us a little latitude. I know your new hang in there.
