immoral yes, unrighteous no.. Morality being the measure of right and wrong man uses.. mind you morality did accept slavery at one point. When it did there were no limits on how badly you could treat a slave.
That said your life today is supported or at least subsidized by modern slaves. We just don't call them slaves because it is immoral, we call them migrant workers or contract workers or seasonal farm workers.. or anywhere where raw material is being harvested or reclaimed.
