I don't see a big issue here. It's not the fault of the industry that certain kinds of labor are cheap. In fact it's nobody's fault, it's just the nature of the market. The only kinds of response to this situation that make sense are to increase welfare (and reduce the barriers/conditions to obtaining it) and decrease taxes for people on low incomes. Anything else misses the essence of the problem, which is that a large number of people, for whatever reasons, do not produce enough value to earn a decent wage. Enforcing various laws might help too, but given that all manual work is by nature dangerous, it's not clear that this industry is especially bad.
