Exploitation at Hershey's
 

Students stage a sit-it

fire them all, hire new workers

you don't like your job? then quit

otherwise stop demanding to be paid for what you want to do as opposed to being paid to do the work that you're told to do

bunch of fucking hippy kids

To me it sounds like they fell for a scam. It's a bit like those adverts around the net "make $534 per day on Google".

Falling for scams can be a fantastic part of one's education. At the same time though, I don't like to help the scammers, so I've made a mental note to avoid their products

Human greed - it never ceases to grow. You give them a finger, soon they'll demand a hand.

What he said. FIRE EM ALL.

Who the hell pays for a low wage job? Really, who pays thousands of dollars for an entry level grunt job?

Also what kind of stupid "tec-generation" young adult doesn't check the web for job info.

Big corporations are experts at greed. "What we only made $10 billion? Fuck employees and customers we need to make more billions. I need another solid gold toilet with the toilet paper made out of $100 bills. You can't expect me to be happy only making 1000X more than any human can reasonably expect to spend in a lifetime."

So true, good lesson for them to learn. The scams I walked into as a naive 16yo really helped to toughen me up and teach me about the world, looking back I'm very grateful to have experienced them

It's disgusting, it seems to be a slippery slope which most people can go down if given the chance.

Yeah... funny how they didn't give any details as to how they got there to begin with. One girl is complaining that she has to work with her hands which is bad because she wants to be a surgeon. Nothing about that video makes sense.

We're definitely not being told the full story

They "paid $3,000 to $6,000 to participate in a U.S.-certified cultural exchange program"

Note also it's NOT Hershey's they are talking about. The packing of already made candy bars for shipment is done by a sub-contractor. And I'll bet that subcontractor gets workers from an employment agency. But that doesn't make for as good a story.

Just spotted that too, we'll have to ignore it, best not spoil the storyline :upsidedow

If only these students had watched The Simpsons when they were growing up, in particular the episode where Bart goes on an exchange to France and ends up as a slave in a grape farm. I've started watching The Simpsons recently (after a 15 year break) and I've observed that they illustrate many an important lesson

Taxes baby! Gotta love it!
