You are literally comparing working for Walmart to being raped? That's a bit condescending not only to people working for Walmart but also to rape victims.
Sometimes we have laws that protect people from their own decisions, absolutely true. But protecting people right into unemployment seems like a funny kind of help.
There is a claim that some positions of power make people unqualified to make choices. Think student/teacher or adult/minor sexual relations or maybe some of the ideas around accredited investors -- non-accredited investors are not allowed to invest in certain types of assets to protect them from predatory practices.
I'm not commenting on morality here, but the state of current law.
