Only that doesn't work. The owner of a 100/1000/10000 people company has much more power than the employee in need of work negotiating his salary/working conditions. Not everyone is a "rock star" employee that managers are bending over backwards to accommodate. That doesn't mean that the rest of the hundreds of millions of workers have to work with whatever conditions they can arrange for themselves. If managers could have their way, everybody would be working 18/7 for substinence salary. A society has to make laws to protect the public from that. Politics used to mean: "a way to protect the common folk from bigger powers".
