First of all, this news article has no facts but full of crap opinions. It is very romantic to have the freedom to say what is right and what is wrong, except you don't personally "live" in the situation and it is not your right to decide what is right for others.

<<<no matter what the situation is in the society; it is never right to do to one's workers what this article is describing, not even if there's a lot of competition for their jobs.>>>

Are you saying people are better off being hungry than working hard for food?

No, I'm saying that you should never pay your workers less than they need to live on or drive them to exhaustion, even if the market will bear it.
