While I understand the sympathy here, I'm not sure I agree. In 5(?) years these jobs will be replaced by robots. They will be safer, more efficient, and cheaper for companies. These workers will not be forced to work under these "horrible" conditions any longer. They will simply be discarded. Question: Would you rather have this job, fully knowing its negatives, or have no job?
