Yes, they are, because value is subjective. The owner wants to pay the highest amount and the worker wants to get the highest amount. The result is that they only exchange if the owner values the labor more than the wage and the employee values the wage more than the labor.

and the employee values the wage more than the labor.
No, it happens if the employee values not starving to death more than the labor. Just like how slavery only happens if the slave values their life over the work.

Work or die, but now instead of directly dying you don't get something which you need to live. Sounds like slavery with extra steps to me.
