I don't think this is so. Marl, the servant of a black mechanic, is
not paid, but this is clearly seen as improper, and its only because
his employer has interfered with his mind that he's able to get away
with it. Even taluses are paid; although they are effectively slaves,
people have to go through some hoops to make the arrangement legal. No
doubt it's different in other cities, but in other cities bios can be
slaves as well.
