And yet, we have a minimum wage, maximum hours allowed to work, accident insurance, mandated sick days, mandated vacation days and other things.

If we did not mandate them by law, people could "choose" not to work at places that did not offer the above. However, that choice would probably entail "not having a job at all" which tends to be rather shitty.

My point being "it is voluntary" is not a reasonable excuse for treating lower class workers inhumanely.

That should be followed by a long discussion of what counts as "inhumane treatment". Where there is much room for disagreement still. But I don't think it is defensible to claim "they could quit" when someone else says "these conditions are inhumane and should be stopped".
