    Two years ago, they were “essential”, and the idea of them getting any kind of benefit to prevent harm was unthinkable. Shafted at both ends of the spectrum.

        My dude, essential is an antonym for expendable. Literally opposites. By definitions of both words, something cannot by both expendable and essential. But logic aside, calling a person essential to the point of denying their own safety to perform their job, but saying they can be replaced at any minute is frankly cruel.
