Well, at one time something like 20% of the deaths in Pittsburgh were happening in Carnegie's steel mills according to the Economist [0]. So it's nothing new, unfortunately. It seems to almost be a pre-condition for getting really really rich.

Hey, do you want to become the next In-N-Out Burger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-N-Out_Burger#Culture) or the next McDonald's? If you want to really reach for the stars (like Bezos is currently trying with Bue Origin), you can't let such trivialities like humane working conditions get in the way...
</sarcasm>
Giving employees reasonable working hours, reasonable working conditions, and reasonable pay for the cost of living is trivially the right move if your ambition is to build a lasting monument of human accomplishment and a lasting legacy of human kinship and solidarity.
