Yeah, I get that. Although construction is a little different. Those workers are often desperately needed to get the job done, especially in tight labor markets where the contractor is facing tight deadlines/liquidated damages. Manufacturing and production is a different story, though. A lot of the abuse that occurs there happens out of sight.
I probably shouldn't have watched 'Fast Food Nation' tbh.
