When employers know that they can get away with underpaying and mistreating their workers because they know that those workers have no other choice to speak of, it is pay for services rendered, but there's not much freedom going on here.
You may be right in arguing that such conditions don't (strictly speaking) count as theft of labor, perhaps something much worse is happening.
