I see, I wasn't aware about that. Worker's rights are not inseperable from property rights but the constitution deals with property rights which are separable from worker's rights. I'm not sure how you equate unfair compensation with theft.

You see, I'm not a liberal, so the way I view the constitution is going to be different from most, but considering that property is essential to labour I'd say that they cannot be trated separately. I'm saying that unfair compensation is basically a theft of the person's labour: they do the work but someone else reaps the rewards.

I see, that's fine. Now I don't agree with the terminology here because I would say that theft would be slavery, since you are taking something away without consent and compensation. While undercompensation (or unfair) is different because you still receive something and you have to consent to a job. Theft is always criminal I don't think that undercompensation is necessarily criminal but instead the circumstances are a lot more complex.
