    It’s a solution as old as humanity … if work place problems cause people to die, the solution is simple … get more cheap labour.

    To the rich its an economic problem … what’s cheaper? Fixing an expensive problem or saving money by buying more cheap workers and not bother changing a thing.

      The counter move is also clear. When work is too cheap and causes people to die, kill the employer. That’s when unions appear to keep both sides from dying.
