well... it costs them something more than it cost to have it the way it is now, and since they don't have to pay for the effect on the workers working in the non-ergonomic warehouse, what's the point? If they had to pay for the health/welfare of their workers directly, they'd have an incentive to ergonimicize the place.

If they had to pay for the health/welfare of their workers directly...

You mean if they had to pay some sort of compensation for work related injuries? Too bad only 50 US states have workers comp laws.
