Mike Bloomberg Exploits Prison Labor

Read more here:

"FORMER NEW YORK CITY mayor and multibillionaire Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg used prison labor to make campaign calls. Through a third-party vendor, the Mike Bloomberg 2020 campaign contracted New Jersey-based call center company ProCom, which runs calls centers in New Jersey and Oklahoma. Two of the call centers in Oklahoma are operated out of state prisons. In at least one of the two prisons, incarcerated people were contracted to make calls on behalf of the Bloomberg campaign."

in the us, slave labor is legal and present: no surprise

[jimoneprism]

It's barbaric because our country is barbaric

[coryj]

It's pretty gross that Bloomberg did this and that politicians can exploit prison labor in this way when prisoners can't even vote.

[journeyman]

This has been going on since Jim Crow days.

This is exactly the same as the large clothing retailers who use slave like labour in countries like Bangladesh. Until a large fire breaks out and hundreds of people die. Then they come out and say "Holier Than Thou" how could we have known..

EVERYBODY 👏 EXPLOITS 👏 PRISON 👏 LABOR 👏

Wait ... A guy, Bloomberg, puts out a contract for call center work. He gets a quote that was likely within expectations, X number of calls per hr at a specified cost that he would reasonably assume would require paying people $8 - $10 per hr. .... the JOKE was some prison official and this 3rd party were stuffing THEIR pockets. Slave labor ... ain't it great.

And yet THIS video ran an ad for Bloomberg, and I do NOT accept the excuse that YouTube is the "third party vendor" for the Bloomberg ad revenue that YOU accept.

He is going to be the best President his own money can buy

[kingbane]

classic excuse of everyone that uses slave or prison labour. oh no it wasn't us... we outsourced it to a third party, third party! i mean yea we hired that third party but it was third party! not us not us!

[ryvyr]

Worry not, the GOP and some Libertarians will defend it.

[chenzomutumbo]

I agree that the wages are definitely exploitative, but to be fair, You also get a job in prison to get time and a half to get out quicker, also looks good in front of a parol board and resumes upon release

My sister did the fire crew when she was locked up in cali and she absolutely loved it and cut a 7 year sentence to just over 2 when factoring time served, behaviour and the time and a half from working.

This slimy SOB is done, if this goes viral. I hope it does. He does not deserve to be POTUS. He’d just be another frump.

[klluachan]

one dollar a day true American culture

[toddtheisen]

sounds like a primo prison job...nothing worse than being in stir with no one to speak to or nothing to do.... get a clue TYT

[WeBreakTheChain]

I'll vote for anyone if it means getting rid of Trump. Even Mayor Pete, who I can't stand, if he's the nominee. I will never, ever vote for Mike Bloomberg.

[alixdickson]

I'm willing to bet these prisoners don't mind at all. Why? Because they're in prison.

[dynrgal]

Why didn't Bloomberg primary Trump as a THAT would make more sense

[alessandrobautista]

Well to be Honest prisoners inmates should be working for free Where paying for them why do they need to get pay?

[michelleswanson]

Don’t pick Billionaire Bloomberg— He’ll tell us NOT to drink ‘Big
