"unable to negotiate good terms by themselves."
There's a massive power asymmetry between a mega international corporation and an individual.
It has nothing to do with 'intelligence' or 'competence'.
Surpluses go to the power. If employees had power, they'd be able to 'negotiate' better terms on their own, they never well.
At the 'low end' of the labour market, we have to have some kind of regulations or else they would get paid the 'bare minimum to survive' and an entire economy of accommodation, food, services would pop up around that system. Maybe like favelas?
So the issue is: 'where do we draw the line?' - which is really hard.
