If someone performs a voluntary job without a gun to their heads, the assumption is that they are not being shafted.

Or they are being shafted by life so hard that this represents less shafting that all their other options. Otherwise, if they had better options, why would they take the job?

There's no such thing as a voluntary job when the "alternative" is poverty, homelessness, and slow death by starvation or preventable disease.
So your proposal is to drive these corporations out of existence and push the people back into poverty?
Not all of them. Just the ones that shaft workers. If your business has nothing to hide it has nothing to fear.
