No, you just misunderstood the comment. They are saying that workers are always hit with the "the free market will sort everything out" when workers are suffering but the same concept doesn't seem to apply in a worker's market.

My comment is partly tongue in cheek but also serious.

I don't honestly believe in the infinite wisdom of markets. I like markets. But they're not infinitely wise. That is the peak "/s"

But at the same time, those who live by X can die by X. And since plenty of people were happy with the market's wisdom when it helped them, (like many CEOs, the current governing party in the UK etc), they cannot change course now without being hypocrites...
