    Thats a bit disingenuous. The workers DID have to threaten to strike. This raise didnt just come out of the blue as a benevolent gesture.

    But this is how give and take should work with employers.

      I hadn’t heard that but with more research, you are correct: they had to threaten a strike. I am disappointed to hear that.

        I’m not that disappointed, its the reality of the system we have. Even senior management have to protect their jobs. They resisted just enough to be able to sell to the shareholders “Did you want a strike? Did you want workers picketing? You want those optics?”

        The system we have sucks, thats undeniable. But this is just the process.
