Exactly. If it could be better but the EU provides a floor beneath which the UK isn't allowed to drop, how can anyone rationally think it is likely to get better outside the EU when that minimum requirement is lost?

Some people may not see this as a risk, as in "we get into power it'll be fine" it is one of the demands of Labour, and one May was able to concede with.
I do see it as a risk but then...staying/leaving the EU influences so many things it may not be the first concern of others.

If you are a British born chef, carpenter, builder, plumber, driver, electrician, landscaper, decorator, glazier, warehouse operative, mechanic etc and would appreciate better pay and conditions I can see a certain (protectionist) logic.
Supply has been met by EU migrant workers. An unimaginative pragmatist (or a conservative) might say that market forces have been reliable whilst recent government has (rightly or wrongly) done very little.
tl:dr Altering the supply of labour for better pay and conditions is a thing.

I am reacting to this: "It could get even worse if we left - but it could also get much better either way" It can get better now, if the UK wants to, for the UK
