This sounds bizarrely similar to a portion of the Ken Burns documentary about the dust bowl. Basically, towards the end of the great depression tons of people migrated to California looking for work. Upon arriving they found little employment and those that did find work were doing hard labour,farms along with employment agencies were working together to drive down the cost human labour even further. This created an enormous class of extremely poor that could be let go at any moment for any reason. While farms and employment agencies raked in profits. Just because a company is acting within the law doesn't mean they are ethical or moral. Maybe robots are better than human subjugation, maybe this is the beginning of new type of economy.
