Yes, this is the usual argument that workers need the freedom to be overworked and underpaid when needed but easy to cast off when they aren't so needed. Basically it is an excuse for on-call employment for abysmal pay. Wage and hour laws make this tricky at best for an employer.
In general workers most blatantly overworked and underpaid work either in the private non-profit sector (such as religious organizations) or in business entities barely surviving. Not so long ago, "worst companies to work for" included Radio Shack (now kaputt) and Sears (moribund). People who have an exit from such entities ordinarily use them.
