- ATsch 8y agoIf the alternative to staying in your current job is starving and/or getting evicted, your labor agreement isn't a voluntary, mutually beneficial transaction anymore. For example, a lot of the population works unfulfilling, abusive, underpaid jobs which they only go to because they can't afford to miss a paycheck. Since in a free market, voluntary and mutual transactions are an underlying assumption, labor markets without comprehensive welfare hence aren't free.
