The society has agreed upon a certain set of rights that all employers should grant to all their workers, and a certain minimal set of "benefits" that every working person should get - in this particular case, "holiday pay, paid rest breaks and the minimum wage". Going below that level is considered exploitative.

I'm in the opinion of if the government really care of it's citizen, they should do it directly, by providing low cost/free basic necessity or basic income, etc. This way their citizen is not "forced" to work with these company you deemed "exploitative"

Yes. When the basic income comes, it will redefine all the parameters by which we judge the qualities of jobs. But that doesn't mean that such jobs are not exploitative now, according to current standards. Your snarky quotes are unwarranted.
