> I want cheaper and better services but never at the cost of other people's rights.

I hear that quite a bit.

The evidence seems to be the opposite though. So long as the deprivation of someone else's rights and conditions is external to your experience, hidden from view... then people tend to be very accepting of any compromise of another person so long as the price goes down (quality isn't even important if the price is low enough).

When people tend to try and argue this, I usually proffer Primark in the UK as an example. People have got to the point that they think a £4 T-shirt costly, without any regard as to how it came to be that a T-shirt is even valued at £4.

We only have some issue with taxis because we speak to the people involved. Even then we're hardly sympathetic.

You've very eloquently argued why voting with your wallet to provide a market-solution to stop abuse and exploitation of workers will never work and why we need government regulations if there is any hope to live in anything but a capitalist dystopia with a tiny sliver of ultra-wealthy owning class, and the rest de-facto slaves.
