Whoah, there buddy. If the most productive use for land in a river valley was as a resevoir, you'd howl like a stuck pig if the government flooded the property in that valley without fully compensating the owners of the property. How is free trade so different? Free trade helps some people at the expense of others. Full compesation is a reasonable demand. If free trade results in some people taking jobs that pay less, why shouldn't they get some permanent benefit like an earned income tax credit?

The difference, quite simply, is that the owners of the property OWN the property and are thus entitled to certain rights in respect thereof. Service providers do not own their jobs nor any right to continue to provide the services they provide, other than as dictated by the market.
