This comes up in the 2006 Dark Times comic series, set shortly after Revenge of the Sith. In Issue 2, Vader learns that the Empire is selling civilians into slavery as part of their occupation of New Plympto:

Clone Commander Vill: Our transport was re-tasked, by order of the Emperor.

Darth Vader: Where was it sent? Has new fighting broken out somewhere?

Vill: No, sir. The ship is transporting captured Nosaurian civilians to the slave market on Orvax IV.

This causes Vader to flash back to his childhood, and the narration notes that "there will be no sleep for Vader this night."

Panels from Dark Times Issue #2. Panel 1 shows a flashback to The Phantom Menace, with young Anakin saying "I had a dream that I became a Jedi—and I came back and freed all the slaves." Panel 2 shows present-day Vader walking out onto a balcony, with the narration "Slaves." Panel 3 shows a skyscraper on coruscant, with the narration "There will be no sleep for Vader this night."

In Issue 3, he raises the subject with the Emperor, who tells him that slavery under the Empire is "merciful" compared to "what would otherwise be necessary" (implied to be mass executions), says that "I'm certain you understand", and leaves Vader standing alone. It's implied that Vader doesn't approve of what the Empire is doing, but over the rest of the series, he doesn't go as far as openly disagreeing or countermanding the Emperor's orders.
