I do; but a lot of people still do not have those rights : depending of the country, sex work, prisoners, “disabilities”, people without papers, and people owned in domestic situation (still exists)
In most cases, our unions fail to defend people in those situation. If we want to make this to change, maybe we shall not invisibilize difficulties of the most oppressed of the working class, but adapt to these. And a lot people said their are cringed by the use of the terme “slavery” for wage an employee situation that would be an improvement.
dawg, wage labor under capitalism is literally slavery with more steps. If your ability to survive is predicated on your ability to sell your body for a wage, you are a slave, and anyone arguing otherwise (you, in this case) is wrong. If you refuse to work and your refusal is met with homelessness and starvation, that is no less coerced labor than if I held a fucking gun to your head.
Also your initial statement of “workers have rights, slaves have none” is just so fucked and wrong from multiple perspectives. Slaves have historically had rights, not every form of slavery is “north american chattel slavery” where they’re treated like livestock. And, again, what difference is there from a “right” won through violence by a union and rights won by slave revolts? There isn’t any
