These young men are no doubt among the most exploited workers in the entire US. Their employer is exempt from many ordinary regulations that apply to every other industry. And their employer is an extraordinarily profitable multi-billion dollar entertainment industry. I have complete sympathy for them as exploited labor and none for their employers. To dismiss them as whiners, as some on this board are prone to do.... is well ....
But then I grew up in union household and to this day tend to sympathize with working stiffs.
