The crisis has provided a lot of leverage for these workers, but large-scale unemployment has also made replacing them easier than ever before. Will be interesting to see what happens here.

Lets hope "the right thing" and the companies start treating their employers better.

Otherwise, the onus is on the rest of us to remember how these companies value human life.

No one cares that their products are made possible by literal slave labor. Most people care so little, they aren't even aware which of their belongings are made possible through slave labor. You really think anyone is really concerned with how companies treat human life? Concerned enough to sacrifice their own benefits instead of just parting with pretty words? I don't think so.

People care.

It's just that things break down in hyperefficient settings (factories, warehouses etc) when unpredictable events hit them. These environments aren't great at adapting quickly to things they haven't faced before.

Before anyone with decision making power or imagination, can be pulled in to deal with some issue, (that no one has training or experience to handle on the front lines), it's already all over social media and the news. That's just how things work currently.

Give it a few days before reacting to whatevers on the net or on the news.
