No. It's lose less vs lose more situation. Not a choice between two equivalent loss situation.
It has been this sleigh of hand that the right wing has been playing since the mid 1970s to draw equivalence between the draw backs of an arrangement designed to benefit the middle class with the outcome of the alternative that is designed to screw the middle class.
If there is a right to work, then here must be a right to living wage, time off, family leave, medical insurance, etc. If the two does not go hand in hand, then the equivalence of factory slavery will be the eventual outcome.
