If:
* basic income was unconditional, and thus, additional to your wage
* basic income wasn't enough to live comfortably, but just enough to survive
then most people would still be compelled to find a job, because most people don't want to just survive. In that situation, the assumption that employers could get away offering very low wages to the least skilled workers look quite credible to me.
