In a normal situation, I would say the workers are free to go work for an employer that offers better working conditions. La Boetie in his essay "Discourse on Voluntary Servitude" wrote:
Obviously there is no need of fighting to overcome this single tyrant, for he is automatically defeated if the country refuses consent to its own enslavement: it is not necessary to deprive him of anything, but simply to give him nothing; there is no need that the country make an effort to do anything for itself provided it does nothing against itself. It is therefore the inhabitants themselves who permit, or, rather, bring about, their own subjection, since by ceasing to submit they would put an end to their servitude.
Couldn't the same be said of an employer that holds that much power? Do you take up the yoke for security or do you take yourself someplace else? We always have a choice.
