If businesses cant tell the difference between employees and slaves, then we all have a major fucking problem.
Oh they can tell.
I mean, they're "employing" slaves from the penal system already, so the line is blurry at best..
There's a reason we call it wage slavery
Yea missing the obvious warning signs like “gang members sitting in on job interviews”. Totally normal.
Very well dressed?
"without noticing" is pulling a lot of weight in that headline. Innocent until proven guilty and all that but I'm willing to bet there were at least some individuals 'in' on the deal.
I don’t know if this is true in the UK but in the US McD’s locations are nearly all franchises owned by local business owners. So McDonald’s the corporation could reasonably be unaware that the 15 (say) locations in Dallas TX owned by Horatio Hornblower were all staffed by trafficked persons.
I’m not saying this would absolve McDonald’s of responsibility but it would address the “being unaware” part.

What fucking empty fucking tripe. They couldn’t give half a fuck. Burn all corps to the fuckin ground.
How is enslaving people not a life in prison, buried under the jail type of crime? These victims should be allowed to beat their slaves to death in the town square
Typo there: you said “slaves” I think you meant slavers.
