Why should labor rights supercede consumer rights? By trying to regulate an "acceptable quality of life" for drivers, protectionism is imposing a lower standard of living on everyone else.

Because society has collectively agreed on what an acceptable quality of life is defined by.

Frankly, consumer's demands and rights take a backseat to the rights of citizens of a country.
