You did not understand the article. It was about intentionally replacing full time employees with part time and temp workers to save on costs.

Imagine if your employer fired you and hired 2 minimum wage guys working part time to do it. That kind of situation.

"We all have to make sacrifices (so shareholders make extra profit)" logic does not work out for people who do not happen to be shareholders.

Replacing full-time jobs with part time and temp. contract workers absolutely makes sense if you only concerned about profits, it does not at all make sense if you consider wider societal consequences of such actions.

This is not unlike dumping toxic waste into the river. Sure, it reduces your costs and results in higher profits, but your increased profits are minute in comparison to damage your actions cause downstream.
