There can, of course, be other interests at work: the relevant agency might be in the pocket of Big Toothpaste (this is called "regulatory capture"), or the government might want to direct poisoning at a specific undesirable community (this is called "environmental racism").

This doesn't work for involuntary groups. You can't argue both that people need to work to eat and that their employers should be able to restrict their political opinions, unless you're willing to accept that people with the wrong kind of ideas ought to be murdered. Either work is involuntary and employment is protected, or working is not a prerequisite for staying alive and associations can be fully voluntary. ↩
