Yes, in my response I am trying to be as explicit as possible in saying that I think these inefficiencies are a net good. However, they are still inefficiencies. There will almost always be somebody willing to work for less, and things like union protection keep that from happening. The result is a net positive for the workers. However, that doesn't stop the process from being economically inefficient.

Corporations also have inefficiencies, because they’re biased against tech which happens to empower workers and removes management layers. (They prefer to deskill labor to be replaceable cogs. David Noble wrote about this.)
