2 words: Ro. Bots. 

You beat me to it. While I empathize there can be few expectations of a job that machines can do better, faster, and cheaper. Given enough pushback from employees, employers—in these cases—will simply turn to automation. At the same time, consumers can't criticize these labor practices while demanding lower and lower prices. For any item on a store shelf, the cost comes out of somebody's paycheck—either yours or the factory worker's.
