I think that it is also important to put pressure on the politicians, not just the business. Not only the business should take better care of the workers, but politics should too. The state/city/whatever should provide resources to the people, either by subsidized housing, free public transport, handouts, UBI, ... it's important to keep pressure also on the political front and to inform people about how much politics could do for the people.
