Slavery was abolished in the USA in the 1860s, and no longer exists generally, at

least in the Western world. Employment is now more of an implied 'contract', that

represents some level of agreement between the parties. An employer can't 'force'

an employee to do anything. When presented with any request or assignment, an

employee always has three choices: Comply, negotiate, or walk.
