    If the right to your own labor is inalienable...
    If someone tries to infringe on that inalienable right they are claiming a positive right to your labor.
    If you deny them the right you are claiming the negative right to abstain from providing them.
    The negative right is not to your own labor - that right is inalienable... the negative right is to abstain from providing for them, it is a response to their proposal.
    Now... if they claim a positive right to your labor, you could comply with them and relinquish your inalienable right, and become a slave... you need not claim the negative right and refuse.
    Basically the positive / negative claim to a right is dependent on the inalienable right, not the inverse right.

    As far as a negative right not dependent on a positive right goes...
    Peoples inherent right not to be murdered is inalienable. The inalienable right is derived from our humanity and existence and so on.
    So people have a negative right not to be run over by cars that is derived from the inalienable right.
    So if someone fails to look out for pedestrians and runs over one of them, they are prosecuted, they don't have the right to run over pedestrians and they never did.
    The negative right is not dependent on anything positive because it is based on the inherent right basically.
