Probably not, but the consequence of that shouldn't be to excuse unnecessarily dangerous or abusive working conditions. I think it is morally good to pay people just a few dollars an hour if the alternative to that is that they have nothing. The people who advocate for trade barriers to stop such things are only harming the poor people that they are pretending to care for. But these workers should at least get a safe and respectful work environment. There is too much bullying and abuse that these people face in their work environments which serves no business purpose. It's a big problem in East Asia and the Middle East especially.
