Having worked in various factories, mainly in Europe, I completely disagree that these kind of hellish working conditions are just "the nature of the beast". Many factories have good working conditions and high safety standards, thanks in part to adequate and scrupulously enforced regulations and also the awareness that mistreatment of any sort can lead to significant legal compensation claims.
