Is Mcdonalds somehow forcing people to work for them against their will?

: ...compare all the hourly wages we maccas workers get from different areas (of course subject to said workers approval of letting others know their wages) to find out which regions of the world McDs is exploiting the least (money wise)...sure you could argue that they are exploiting equally all around the world but what it boils down to is that money matters more to most kid workers than caring about a rainforest in another country.

You keep mentioning these 'exploited' workers. Is Mcdonalds somehow forcing people to work for them against their will? Or are they merely exchanging currency for willfully volunteered labor? It's pretty hard to exploit someone who has willfully entered into a contract and is free to quit whenever they see fit. Be careful how and when you use the word exploited.
