But nobody was extorted into working there lol, they volunteered.
We’re not talking about some village where people are forced into working the only job available so the boss can demand whatever. We’re talking about people who chose to work at a particular company and knew the deal they were getting before moving. You don’t change countries for a job without doing your research on cost of living first.
Also, Dan Houser has been living in the US for decades. He’s a writer, not an HR specialist. Why does he have to be familiar with the exact situation of the UK labour market? Why does he get the blame and not the UK itself for having shit laws?
I swear some people just want to hate whoever’s name sticks out when we truly don’t know who knew what or what these employees salaries were.
He literally might not know, he was working on another continent lmao
Like I said, the only people who can tell you if they were forced to sign whatever employment contracts they signed or what those contracts entailed, are the people who were fired. I don’t think they’ll be speaking up about any of that, though, given that the union busting is an ongoing legal matter and there’s still a non-zero chance of getting their jobs reinstated.

We are done with this capitalist scumming.
But they were fired in 2025, we were talking about pre 2020 conditions. Who knows what their work was actually like? They do, we don’t.
Let’s DEMAND Dan Houser answer us then!
In the meantime, all capitalists are bastards.
