America was built on treating the worker badly. Most of the first people that came here were either slaves or indentured servants. Now we have prison slavery and wage servitude.

The only thing that has ever really improved in American labor is actual safety standards for work environments, equipment, etc. We do a great job of prioritizing that. But actual workers are viewed as expendable, and many of the largest employers are just meat grinders even if they offer half-decent benefits. Walmart is a good example of that
