When you have large corporations where the management is in some golden tower there is nothing personal about the labor force. They get to be just a number on a spreadsheet.

That's VERY true and only gets worse when the people running a business are not the people who built the business. It's also exactly the reason why things like minimum wage are so important. You'd have a hard time finding any business with an actively engaged owner paying people under $9.00 per hour... this law isn't about them. It's about the bean counters in a central management accounting department who think paying $6.25 would look good on a spreadsheet and get them a promotion at a meeting about quarterly profits.
