Yes. Labor laws in general reduce options for those who need them most. It prevents people from making decisions for themselves and is condescending in assuming individuals are incapable of deciding what is best for themselves.
I acknowledge most people will say this is callous and uncaring, and these people need our protections, but I think that argument ignores the economic reality that by imposing these laws they remove options for people.
It mostly boils down to the idea that we shouldn't ban voluntary actions in general. And doing so violates individuals basic rights to make decisions for themselves.
To be clear we should still have liability laws where an employer should be liable if their negligence causes injury etc.
