The workers are individuals so your mileage will vary. But they are subsumed in the litigious miasma that each country gradually introduces for the so-called greater good and collective benefit and for individual protection. I started working in a free range work environment that was harmful to health but very free with any number of jobs to choose from with a great range of incomes and problems. It was great apart from being poisoned, deafened, killed or skin canceled. Young ignorant people do need protection but there's a cost to protection which has now far exceeded the value of the protection because the protective people have built self-dealing empires funded by the protected people who do not need or want the protection if they could choose not to pay. British workers went through the same trajectory as American but several decades earlier culminating in the British Disease which moderated a little with Margaret Thatcher being elected for a decade until the hopeless John Major conspired to usurp her. New Zealand used to be a workers world where men were men and bludgers were contemptible. Now the word bludger is unknown. Most of the population are bludgers getting free stuff from government coffers or paid to do a "job" in the cushy world of make work empire building government departments that breed like cockroaches but are not as harmless.
