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.
