That's most likely because you're thinking of the extreme slaves. like chained up and beaten.
which does nothing for the argument of slaves who are not chained up and beaten.
Slavery is a system under which people are treated as property to be bought and sold, and are forced to work.
Check.
The governments property. and distributed amongst employers and forced to work.
Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave.
Check.
If you walk off the site you get punished.
if you want to eat this week, then carry on working.
Opponents hope slavery can be eradicated within 30 years.
Check.
at least outside the UK anyway.

Put it another way.
if thousands of these 'slaves' had their say for once. instead of various government faces saying (which they try to pretend is the feeling amongst all the slaves) they enjoy it! it gives them confidence! (slight glimpse of a worker being struck in the background) it makes them feel that they're bettering themselves!
if they were given a chance to speak out for themselves. and they said we're treated like slaves. we're doing hard work that the person we're working along side is getting £300 a week whilst we're doing his job for £71.
many people would say "you're not supposed to like it you lazy bums. it's meant to punish you for being the lazy bums that you all are!"
Slaves being punished.
