This story make me sad for the human species, it sounds criminal.
On the upside, with tech of course:
Is there any existing app for labor conditions reporting?
If potential employees had a slight opportunity to easily research conditions, they might choose another company with a better record. This would have the potential to drive disreputable shops out of business and promote those that care a bit more about basic human rights. It would be a daunting education and development task, but one that would be meaningful.

I'm sure there are much worse and much better companies than what is reported regarding un/semi-skilled labor workforce vendors. The former should not be allowed to survive. Would be a cool project if someone went undercover themselves to make a docu on the living and work conditions of these industrial sites to expose this further.
