Caught Employing Slaves, McDonald’s Promises to Do Better (jacobin.com)

The dire conditions of fast-food work cause enormous staff turnover, which puts franchisees in a constant search for desperate workers. It’s no wonder that one McDonald’s in England failed to notice that it was employing victims of human trafficking.

Someone’s never been to a part of the world where the bbc is blocked. And it shows.

BBC blocked?

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Vietnam. And I’d bet many others around here too.

The difference between the jacobin article and the bbc article is astronomical. The first one is meaningless garbage. The second is just an article, and I'm not a BBC Stan, but c'mon. If Jacobin is all you can get, then just turn it off.

I got they were using a supplier using slaves. What was missed.

You didn't read any of it did you?

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes I did but I’m not typing out all the names or the entire story. And I’ll wait till I can read it across a few other platforms as well. Never trust a new story. So again what was missed.

The BBC article writers/editors did all the reporting and effort, and jacobin just posted an AI generated summary that missed all the details. If you never trust a new story, you are still susceptible to propaganda memes and shit articles that get repeated.

Then why not post the BBC article to counter this “meaningless garbage?”
