Re:Twitter to lay off 25% of workforce in first round of job... by kenjackson on Tuesday November 01, 2022 @10:56AM (#33422065)
You likely won’t get more pay. In times without protections against collusion and without minimum wages, and laws against child labor — wages don’t typically go up. But you will have more workers in labor. Just not protected and poorer.

Pay for workers is set by Supply&Demand, just like everything else. Adding worker protections increases costs to hire, which reduces demand, and so salaries drop.

It's inevitable.
