It's weird how the name doesn't break down to what it really means.

If only there was a word that meant forced labour that injured the worker.

Every time someone brings up wage slavery, there's some doofus who feels the urge to argue that it's unfair to chattel slavery.

"Experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other."

— Frederick Douglass
