That means that employers will need to be more attentive to their employees' needs if they want to keep them.

Or that they'll lobby even harder to expand TFW slavery.

    If they had that sort of lobbying power I doubt we'd see UBI to begin with. Regardless, "evil people might thwart it!" Is not a very good reason not to try to do good things.

    It wasn't my intention to suggest that we shouldn't try it.

    I was merely (and cynically) pointing out the forces who will be pushing against the efforts to do some good for society.
