From the article, I saw this line: "That finding suggests corporate leaders need to think more about employees’ well-being, Ms. Twaronite said."
I can think of one way to force them to be more responsive to their workers' well-being: a union.
This is an organizational method that's had a lot of success in the past, and works well in other countries. It's a way for workers to band together and demand changes to the business that benefits them, and can be structured however the workers decide it.
It doesn't have to be a "your pay is tied to seniority and it's impossible to fire louts" kind of thing; everyone involved gets a chance to have their say in how it works. (though, of course, not everyone uses it, just like how not everyone votes when they have the chance to.)
I only bring this up because Ms. Twaronite seems to have a lot of faith in corporate leaders to be good to their workers. It's those corporate leaders who put their workers in this "your hours are going up, your salary stays the same" hard spot in the first place.
What would make them change their minds now?
