I welcome you to reread my comment.

What I essentially said was that nobody should be forced to work for unfair compensation. If this compensation can not be reached, we should accept that there will be less work created, instead of enforcing this compensation at the expense of our other more important civil rights.

I'm not aware of any penal servitude in the United States.

It's right there in the 13th Amendment. Just look at FPI/UNICOR, a government-owned corporation founded in order to exploit prison labor.

Hence "we should accept that there will be less work created."
