I’m loving all this industrial action in America recently. Richest country in the world should be paying it’s workers better.
First company to give their workers what they want without even negotiating gets me as a customer for life.
Those companies do not make the news.
This is cause the ones who redacted the price increase own the news.
That’s what made me a Chapman’s Ice Cream fan (in Canada) because of how they treated their workers during the pandemic. They gave a 2 dollar raise during the pandemic, making it permanent where so many other companies hoped it would be temporary, then a year later gave a $1 raise to fully vaccinated people, then six months later matched that for everyone else. That’s how, as management you show your workers how valuable they are.
Let’s see more collective bargaining wins. It’s how the lives of many gained monumental improvements in the 20th century, which have been consistently eroded away.
It’s time for lower and middle class workers to have a more meaningful share of the benefits their labor creates. It’s time for a thriving, growing, and financially stable middle class.
Finally a united front with all 3 automakers. Let’s hope the workers get what they’re asking for. Profits are through the roof, so let “trickle down economics” do its thing.
Surely they have enough to share and won’t cry that giving workers fair wages will bankrupt them.
