@massmomm I’d argue that your labor is yours to do with as you will. If an adult wants to volunteer for something, they should be free to do so. Take the article that @nordicdad posted for example. These were people volunteering at a winery for the camaraderie, experience, and love of the industry. They didn’t care that they weren’t being paid, but the government decided to punish the business anyway (and therefore everyone else that enjoyed volunteering at local wineries).
