The answer is nope! Their labor power was treated the same as any other raw material, the outcome of the sale did not wrap back to their hands.

Wait what? Of course the outcome of the sale wrapped back to their hands. They wouldn't have a job if there were no sale.

The immense profits or lack of profits do not change the worker's compensation. They can find a new job, but whether there is feast or famine with respect to sales they do not profit.
