They are home servants. What did you expect?

Even Roman slaves, although less free than fictional Alphas,  could find ways to make money for themselves.

Unlike American slavery which had little to no path to freedom unless a master set them free which was unlikely.

Alpha slavery is NOT for economics. It's just a servant around the house to assist with maintenance, chores, and the kids to free up the master's time for other pursuits.

They are like unpaid lackeys for lack of a better word.

Do they have trade unions?

Only paid by jobs...which are NOT always one and the same as the master.

Unions exist for paid jobs, not nonpaid slave work.

The difference between a  Alpha slave and a free Alpha man or Alpha woman is that when a slave comes home from work he/she still has duties his master will require of him or her at home, if not right away, still the same day.

Everyday. Like a housekeeper/babysitter.

He has a paid job. Let the master scum get off with his stupid "duties".

Wait... But the job is paid for the subject, i.e. the master, not for the object, i.e. the slave.

A rented tool isn't paid for work, its owner is.

A slave can't own something, otherwise he's a free person with rights protected by laws.

Late Roman slaves could sue owners for mistreatment.

Slavery is a big can of worms.

*slow clap*

But yeah, there're many ways to do many things, and there're definitely more than 50 shades of grey.

LOL. Exactly. If these guys are compensated for their labor, and can choose who to work for, they ain't slaves.

Now we're calling apples oranges.

So, these employees hold multiple jobs. Big deal.
