Having worked in a union shop where we were constantly told we should think ourselves lucky to have a job and there was no money for raises or any other benefits for more than a decade, and they even broke us in bankruptcy proceedings, but when faced with a huge worker shortfall they started throwing huge wage bumps, bonuses, and rapid career advancement tracks to attract new people…fuck them. The money is always there when it matters to them.
It’s both. Trust me.
