3) Someone said that Weiss' grandfather founded the company, so I doubt that it is young I didn't mean to imply that the company is young. The way I figure it is that the SDC was guilty of using forced Faunus labor... once... back when the company was not so vast. We have no proof this is still going on, it's just an assumption that Blake made in Volume 1 based on Faunus bias and very likely propaganda. This would make easier for the White Fang leaders to rally their followers into a violent mob. I mean, I suppose it is possible that this is still going on, but I don't think it's the kind of thing that could be covered up given the setting (all there advanced means of communication, the word is bound to get out from trusted sources) and no matter what tension there may yet be between humans and Faunus, very likely most humans at this point would not be willing to back SDC. Basically, I certainly hope SDC's questionable business practices are not (or at least "no longer") to do with slave labor. 'Cause otherwise, that would just be dumb. Slavery has no place in an enlightened world. That really depends on were the dust is being mined.While the four kingdoms may discourage that sort of thing,we have no idea what live is like outside them.
