This is a good post. In a "truly" capitlast system, the worker would be able to hold his work out if he was not being compensated properly (this is how Adam Smith envisioned the system working). Unfortuantely, capitalism in practice holds workers (especially those working the most menial taks) as wage slaves, and therefore prevents them from fighting for apporpriate compensation for their labor.

How is their compensation not appropriate?

These people are doing something that anyone else can do, therefore their labor is inherently less valuable. This makes their compensation, which is determined by the market, quite appropriate.

There is no point in fighting for something that they don't deserve. These people certainly have enough to live on, even if they are "wage slaves." By making good economic decisions, they will eventually have the ability to acquire new skills and advance their position.
