Unless they are forced to it can’t be exploitation.
Now if they work health benefits into instead of just paying better wages, that would be more on the exploitation side. But thats the bad eggs ruining it for the other 98% that don’t abuse it.
it's definitely exploitation. you just don't like the connotation. they are being exploited for their blood just like a well is exploited for oil a mountain is exploited for minerals and forests are exploited for wood.
Exploit has multiple meanings, exploiting a resource and exploiting someone in an underhand or unfair way do have the same phrase to explain them. But exploiting a resource is obviously much different than treating workers unfairly.
Verbs and nouns typically have different meanings for the same word, maybe time for an English refresher.
since you clearly went to a dictionary, you can see none of the definitions even mention "force".
I'm using it correctly. don't be condescending. you might think it's a fair exploitation, but it's exploitation nonetheless.
Not your decision it make. Hazard pay exists for a reason, many people view that as exploitation as well. Doesn’t make it so, sorry.
Words have different meanings, and you missed the mark thinking it was like mining.
oh, I think I hit something.
Blocking the spam troll bye.
oh, thank god
calling me names doesn't change whether I'm right
by the barest definition, it is exploitation.
mounds and greens have nothing to do with this. we are only using the transitive verb here.
And if they are paid fairly it’s not exploitation anymore. That’s their decision to make, not yours.
pay isn't part of the definition of exploitation, either
