I never said it increased the bargaining power of an employee. A minimum wage ensures that employees are paid enough to survive at a human level.

I think you misunderstand my use of the word "exploit" here. The underpayment is the exploitation, not work conditions here. I'm not sure where someone wanting to quit their job factors into my argument.
