description of the source of the comparison of wage labor to slavery
[edit]"Wage labour has long been compared to slavery by socialists."
wasn't that the official position of the republican party in the 19th century? I would replace it with "by several institutions across the political landscape" unless someone want to do more research.
That would just be adding to the seeming bias in this entry by not presenting counterarguments to the views that equate wage labor with slavery.
Furthermore, you're only referring to the Labor Republicans who by no means had the same views as most Republicans at the time. Also, I've heard many argue that the Lincoln-era Republican Party is more consistently aligned with today's Democrats and you can't have it both ways. Suhmanthuh (talk) 15:10, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

As opposed to what?
[edit]The article states that wage labor "is currently the most common form of work arrangement." What other arrangements are there? Surely, the author of that line must be contrasting wage labor with something else, and the article would be clearer if it was stated directly. Keeves (talk) 19:23, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
