Progressives used the term "wage slaves" to describe the fact that workers were economically exploited by being tied to low-paying jobs where they had little control over their working conditions and were unable to break out of the cycle of poverty. They believed that this system deprived workers of their freedom and autonomy, similar to how slavery deprived individuals of their rights and agency.
