This is also why most jobs should be unionized

Maybe. I know shipping things via UPS is about to get a lot more expensive, and maybe it should be.

Yeah, if shipping gets more expensive that means that shipping was cheap because of exploitation of people. I don't know about anyone else, I personally wouldn't want that.

Exactly. This logic can also be applied to fast food, hard labor, etc...
