From Eric Husman at GrimReader:

Any factory where the workers are legally prevented from quitting, striking, or organizing, and/or where the employers have perpetrated a fraud upon the workers by successfully misrepresenting the conditions of work, and/or where the workers were forced out of their (now) second-best choice of work by government policy.

Is there not some level of empowerment - that workers are unable to meet their aspirations, that they are trapped within a system where they can never see a way out, that they are without hope, cogs in a machine designed to only produce profits for someone else.
