There is a problem with human workers. Here it is:
Does this mean that ALL exchange is not euvoluntary? Is it true that we "must" perform services in exchange for currency? I have heard people argue just this point. Since we need food, all payment for labor is exploitative. Of course, usually there are many different ways for me to earn money. But suppose there is only one? The "company town" thing.
Here is the entire SMBC comic, which is wonderful... Perhaps the problem is honesty?

Do you have suggestions on where we could find more examples of this phenomenon?
