Lola cooked, cleaned, and cared for five children, working from morning to night. She wasn't paid or even given her own room, often sleeping next to the laundry...
A bit long, but interesting story.

Drapes, I read this last night. There are many stories like this up to this day in India, Pakistan and other Asian and Middle Eastern societies.
This is sad and I wonder what it will take to put a stop to it.

Even though Trade (Workers') Unions are justifiably blamed for lots of the upheaval in the Business World, should they disappear like some sector advocate, we would see a sharp return to slavery(like) conditions in the workplace.
My surprise though is that the story has taken place in this modern society. Yes, I'm referring to even the 60s as modern.

Two Jamaicans were enslaved in Texas some years back - a husband and wife. They escaped after years.
