Free market working unfettered, in theory, provides a safe work environment with living wages for employs that are just compensation for their work. The lack of the free market providing this is what led to the rise of unions in the absence of government involvement.

The second part is irrelevant to the larger union discussion. That is a result of union activity, and it is wrong, but it is a separate issue from the discussion.

This is part a much larger theoretical discussion about what is "just" in terms of the free market determining it, and the societal expectations of it. 

I think the second part is relevant, but again that does dive into a much deeper discussion.
