> If a person cannot find a better offer, then their problem is that the market does not value their labor enough to sustain the previous working conditions, not that their current employer exercised some tyrannical power over them. This is a sort of weird take on market conditions to try and downplay the amount of power an employer has over their employee. For example an employee that accepts an offer and moves across the US for a job opportunity only for things to change suddenly or for new conditions to be foisted upon them is SOL. They force you to adapt because you've invested a lot of time, money and effort and if you choose to leave, you lose out on unemployment benefits. An employer doesn't have to literally hire mercenaries in order to force you to work under bad conditions. There are plenty of ways to abuse soft power, lack of labor laws, healthcare tied to work etc that gives employers a lot of leverage, and new employers a lot of ways to abuse desperate fleeing employees.
