The only reason H1-Bs are attractive to employers is because the employee is effectively chained to them (through the Green Card process) - which in the case of employers looking to cut costs suppresses wages.
I think the best solution is to decouple the work visa and green card like Canada - and hand over more control to the employees. It will solve a lot of problems!
Canada also does the Labor Market Opinions/US-PERM Certification in the visa phase instead of the Green Card phase in the US - which can theoretically cut down on the abuse of H1-Bs by companies like Disney via. consultancies.

Also, in most of the cases, as I pointed out in my comment, there are Americans that can do the jobs which violates the conditions of the H1-B.
