There was a huge honking "IF" at the start of that comment... > If these workers don't have other choice but to take that miserable paycheck or starve... Plenty of people everywhere have other choices between one employer or starving. So, no, by that logic, any employee anywhere is not a slave.

There also needs to be a meaningful distinction between the choices. If every employer is offering the same devil's bargain, and every one leaves the person at the edge of starvation, then the freedom to choose which devil to deal with doesn't mean much.
