These are not things that individual employees can work their way up to achieve.
Suppose there are two factories: one with a worse safety record, and one with a better one. When someone comes from the farm, they find the first factory has an opening; after a few years, they have enough experience that they move to the second factory.
I don’t know how much spread there is in factory conditions (but I imagine there must be some), but I do know there’s at least some spread in worker ability / training.
These are things that will only change from the top.
Suppose you offered the workers of a sweatshop either an air conditioning system for their workplace or the money it would cost, split among them. Do you think that vote would be unanimous?
