synopsis

FilmHELPLESSNESS points out the problems of working for big retail chains, including unpaid overtime, multitasking and allowing no breaks. It also gives evidence of the fear of the workers; they will not defend each other, they are afraid to enter the trade unions; which allows the big companies to treat them so bad.
