If you truly want behavior not to be coerced, you muct hate that employers, often the private owners of the means of production, try to prevent workers from organizing into unions of their own free will.

I visited the site you linked. Garbage, I say. Let's remember turn of the century USA. should the government prevent capitalists from hiring 10 year olds? Or would capitalism miagically prevent that? It didn't before. Or how about an eight hour workday? Not before the unions, baby. Capitalism leaves nothing between men but naked self-interest, to borrow from Marx. And he was right.
