It's trivial to justify. Companies exist to maximize profit. You make more profit by paying your employees less.

Also, plenty of people in my responses are denying that this is what profit is.

It is still inhumane. There are other ways of running businesses, but rarely tried as they are typically squashed by bankers or VCs not providing financing.

Examples include directly hiring trade unions, cooperatives, associations...

Yes, a society organized around the profit motive is inhumane. That is the point I was making.
