Would you care to assign any other positions to me? I feel like you've lost sight of me simply taking objection to this histrionic idea of companies forcing pe

  I don't find the idea histrionic. We are seeing a constant and repeated degradation of worker's rights in ways that are both limiting what workers are allowed to do outside of their employment with a company, and in limiting worker's abilities to seek redress for any damages done to them by their employers. We already see industries where every single company operating in that industry requires arbitration agreements which employees have no protection against. The courts have said its kosher, the legislature has no intention of blocking it at a federal level, and for many classes of workers there are no options without arbitration agreements. That is just removing the protection of the courts from a massive number of workers. Combine this with other controls on workers, like companies getting a say in whether or not you get unemployment, and workers are being forced more and more into a choice of do what the companies say or starve. I don't see how this doesn't end with virtual slavery like being forced to work for 1c/hr but you stand here and say its stupid and hyperbolic. I admit that I did assign you a position you never stated. I have mostly seen arguments against discussing issues like this come from die hard libertarians who think there should be no sort of government interference in agreements between employees and employers and I made an assumption about you without evidence, for which I apologize
