Yeah, that's the tricky part that this seems to come down to.
A decision was made that a slave-wage is undesirable/illegal, so the wage-slave job goes away.
The argument is about do you believe people should decide for themselves that the wage-slave job is better than nothing, or should the government dictate that we don't tolerate wage-slaves by slave-wages here.
It gets messy because the "people should decide" message shares the same outcome as "corporates get richer", so strong incentive for the latter to amplify the former.
This whole story echos those union fights in our history textbooks.
