This is the same argument leveled against sweatshops and it is frankly a fallacious one.

It proposes a false dichotomy where the worker has to either be in well paying and fulfilling employment (which obviously is not an option given their circumstances) or alternatively, they must be saved from the tyranny of their employer (usually through enactment of regulations which will leave them jobless).

Either way all it achieves is to deprive the worker of income, experience and the agency that comes with being able to make their own employment decisions. Your comment, despite seeming conscientious, gives little consideration to utility of the worker and the pragmatic decisions they face.

A sense of moral outrage towards a company (or individual) for perceived exploitation of their employees might be justified, but is not sufficient grounds for limiting the freedom of exchange.
