Oh yeah. The chad slavedriver vs the virgin computer guy. Tale as old as time
Slavery is the most impressive form of engineering. Ever wonder how they built the pyramids?
Is it slave labour if they can choose to strike?
Yes, that's called a slave revolt. In that specific case, a couple things of note:
1: You can have both slaves and "free" workers build the same thing.
2: Egypt almost certainly enslaved a large number of war captives from the Sea People invasion
3: That is literally five hundred years after the last pyramid. The Pharaohs moved on to building hidden tombs because it was both cheaper and less of a giant stone monument telling thieves were a rich guy buried some treasure.
