In a recent article in this journal, David Faraci (2019) argues that the value of fairness can plausibly be appealed to in order to vindicate the view that consensual, mutually beneficial employment relationships can be wrongfully exploitative, even if employers have no obligation to hire or otherwise benefit those who are badly off enough to be vulnerable to wage exploitation. In this commentary, I argue that several values provide potentially strong grounds for thinking that it is at least sometimes better, morally speaking, for employers to hire worse-off people at intuitively exploitative wages than to hire better-off people at intuitively fair wages. Rather than suggesting that hiring badly off people at intuitively exploitative wages is permissible, however, I suggest that this gives us reason to think that employers can be obligated to hire worse-off people rather than better-off people and to pay them nonexploitative wages.

公平的价值与剥削工资的错误

在本期刊最近的一篇文章中，David Faraci（2019 年）认为，公平的价值可以合理地被诉诸于以证明双方同意的互利雇佣关系可能被错误地剥削的观点，即使雇主没有义务雇用或以其他方式使那些境况不佳、容易受到工资剥削的人受益。在这篇评论中，我认为有几个价值观提供了潜在的强有力的基础，让我认为至少有时从道德上讲，雇主以直觉剥削性的工资雇用状况较差的人比以直觉上公平的工资雇用状况较好的人更好。然而，与其暗示以直觉剥削性的工资雇用待遇不佳的人是允许的，
