Dunno, that' a crap attitude that has held you back from promotions and caused your redundancy in the pastComparing heavily regulated employment in a G20 member of the European Union to slavery is pretty pathetic.

You may think it's a crap attitude but it's just businessBusinesses work that way, why shouldn't employees? I reiterate, it's a sale. You selling your skills and time to someone for money. They then sell the proceeds/product of your skills and time for profit. I'm not adversarial with employers, I'm honest. If the contract doesn't suit either of us we're free to walk away*, no hard feelings.
Never lose sight of the fact that, if you give something for free, the recipient places no value on it. If you give your time for free, your employer places no value on it and may/will come top expect his/her extra 20% for free. What you give away devalues what you sell, if you're selling your heartbeats you're devaluing your own life.
*Just done that

I would have thought that being morbidly obese should really be your concern in terms of 'devaluing your own life' Forever thinking that your employer is getting one over on you doesn't sound like it's particularly conducive to you being productive, happy, or liked at work.
