That's because they were "assets"! Now people are disposable– trash to be dumped when better bodies come to replace them.

We need better laws to protect workers in the US.

People are treated like things under capitalism. The workers are de facto responsible for using up inputs to produce outputs, but capitalism grants the employer sole legal responsibility for the positive and negative results of production. This violates the basic principle of justice that legal and de facto responsibility should match. Satisfying this principle can only be done in a worker coops. Therefore, all firms must be mandated to be worker coops
