      In UK law the "Working Time Directive" states employees should not work more than 48 hours per week. So if employees opt out, especially if it's in their contract, that needs to mean an employer accepts additional responsibility to ensure slavery is not occurring under threat of criminal prosecution. Perhaps then, coercion to opt out by an employer would be mitigated.

    To suggest McDonalds "missed" red flags of slavery mitigates the likelihood that they simply ignored them. The irony that treating all employees like slaves meant they didn't spot actual slaves should not be a defence. The law needs to hold business owners criminally accountable for employing slaves even if there are claims that they did not know.. especially if it is deemed reasonable by a court that they should have known.
