    I’ve seen this come up a few times. Being forced via legislation to return to work. What does that mean? I can presume sentencing and prison. But I don’t know. How do you compel someone to work. Can’t they just resign? Isn’t it just slavery at that point? I don’t get it.

        I was asking earnestly. I don’t know how being compelled to work… works. I wasn’t sure if it was under threat of something other than being fired. My only context was “being forced to work”. I thought I’d made that clear with my previous comment.

        I wasn’t suggesting that work is slavery or that under normal conditions they are slaves. I was merely speculating on the limited knowledge I had. Hence why I asked.
