White Slavery

What ... Slavery ... in the 21st century? YES!! Let's talk about a 14 hour shift with two 5 minute breaks that I just completed ??? ... most commercial kitchens operate outside of all labour laws ... outside of ethical laws ... outside of all laws that pertain to civilized society.

When you patronize your local eatery do you know that behind the scenes there are probably slaves in the kitchen? People who are in physical and mental pain that HAVE to be there. People that are being abused ... people that are making minimum wage and putting up with verbal tirades from narcissistic chefs, cooks and managers ... people who are behind the scenes scrubbing pots ... chopping onions ... and basically doing whatever their bosses tell them to do and do it fast!
