as real team members with proper contracts, onboarding, and as long as they aren't replaced every three weeks.

Yes, as that would be elevating the working conditions of workers in that scenario, which is usually on the table as an option regardless. This economic model however is reliant on enabling the opposite. The door being open for cheap expendable labor is the underlying purpose and point.

Bangladesh on the other hand seems to keep being exploited for sweat shops. But that may as well be a stereotype as sweat shops are all out media reports about when it comes to Bangladesh.
