Yeah, the student worker slaves, who get shit on over and over again, are going on strike, I hope this stuff gets more attention and hopefully spreads.

I will never buy a herseys product again.

This is some very fucked up shit, I knew they were moving overseas to fuck over local labor forces but to get them to pay money to come over here.....


oh and they have a word for this.... it's called indentured servitude.

[DinodudeEpic]

This is absolutely disgusting. It just shows the consequences of corporate rule over the workers.

It is quite FUNNY!......If it was an Onion article.

Yeah, but it's voluntary exchange so it's freedom. Yay, for capitalist logic!

[DinodudeEpic]

How is this freedom? It is not voluntary, since the workers are not allowed to/ cant get out of their contract.

Plus, slavery is NOT freedom, don't let Big Brother fool you on that.

[Putzpie]

Well I think he was being sarcastic, but you're right. It's a load of horse shit.

[RGacky3]

This is Capitalism, but this is also socialism, the workers getting together and fighting back.

Rick Anaya, chief executive of the council, said he had brought about 6,000 J-1 visa students to the United States this summer. Mr. Anaya said he had tried to respond to the Palmyra workers’ complaints. “We are not getting any cooperation,” he said. “We are trying to work with these kids. All this negativity is hurting an excellent program. We would go out of our way to help them, but it seems like someone is stirring them up out there.” The J-1 program is fucking corrupt as hell. Last december some really shitty stuff (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/06/j1-student-visa-abuse-for_n_792354.html) was exposed about the problems with the J-1 program, but it didn't get much media attention. This is likely to get a bit more attention.
