When supply exceeds demand, you do not need collusion, because there are unemployed workers who you can just hire at your target rate. If that is not enough money to entice them to work for you, then it would still not be enough even if you colluded.

What collusion allows is for the employers to maintain these low prices, even when demand exceed supply.
