Yes, there are relationships between the workplace of the pro-slavery CSA (Confederate States of America) economy depicted in the film compared to the current workplace environment in the United States. The main similarity is that both systems rely heavily on a culture of exploitation for economic gain. In both cases, certain individuals or groups have been subjected to unfair treatment, often based on their race or social class. For example, during slavery African Americans were not given any rights and were subject to extreme conditions; similarly today they remain at a disadvantage due to systemic racism and lack of access to resources and opportunities. Additionally, while women’s roles within society have changed significantly since then, there is still an unequal balance of power when it comes to gender representation in many workplaces which can lead to similar forms of exploitation as those seen under slavery. Finally, there has also been an increase in instances where workers are treated as expendable commodities with little regard for their safety or wellbeing; whether this be through hazardous working conditions without proper protection or inadequate pay with no benefits. All these factors indicate that there are indeed parallels between past and present U.S. workplaces regarding exploitation and injustice.
