Err here in the United States you have people pissing in bottles and bags because they can't take a break without missing targets. The West is not immune to predatory hiring and employment practices.
Last year a building collapsed here during construction and killed about 60 people. Stuff like that happens all the time.
I've also lived in the US for 9 years; I'm also well aware of the mistreatment of workers here, such as workers who are undocumented migrants, workers who are prisoners, workers who work gig companies, Amazon workers, and many others.
Jeff bezos is not pissing in a bottle. The people who profit the most from these ships are never trapped on them.
But now I’m gonna make an exception and point to the Hard Rock building collapse in New Orleans in 2019 which killed 3 workers and injured dozens more[1]. Things like that happen all the time in the US as well.

I'm sure there's a number for which I'd agree to be stranded on a boat off the coast of Egypt without power, but I suspect it's closer to 15x my salary.
As I understand it, this makes the latter 100x worse than the former.
Also people don't sign up to be abandoned on a ship, they're not told of that possibility, until it happens. They signed up to be merchant marines or seaman, not prisoners of ghost ships.
Just because you find getting bit by a dog more palatable than falling into a pit of snakes, doesn't make getting bit by a dog okay or acceptable.
It's pretty offensive to compare this to being held prisoner on a ship.
I'm going to blow your mind: RV toilets are just giant bottles with levers and valves.
Your reading of my statement is far from the mark, curiously so.
OSHA laws require companies allow bathroom breaks though.
Maybe you're right, and there will be lawsuits. That's a far cry from saying that the workers there wanted a union.
