"Modern slavery" does not include "low paid menial work".
Modern spavery exists in several different forms: actual slavery, bonded labour, and forced labour.
Employment compliant with US law is unlikely to meet those definitions. (Although children working in US tobacco farms is legal and problematic).

Maybe you meant "wage slave"? There's probably better terms, becase as soon as you mention "slave" people will think you mean slavery, and "wage slaves" are not in any sense slaves.
Do you think they called "slavery" in the past?
Yes, that's exactly what they called it.
I don't understand what you mean?
What I mean is what is not considered slavery now, could be reconsidered as so in the future. I believe so in this case.
