It's disgusting how the CEO class has put the screws to the workers below them, increasing their own pay and bonuses in the process. Went into overdrive once Cadet Bonespurs stained the office. I'm finding it difficult to hold a grudge against people who are fed up with their treatment and seized an opportune time to strike and make their needs known. This kind of stuff doesn't happen when you treat your employees right. Having said that, this whole supply chain issue isn't just one bottleneck. No matter what happens with shipping companies and ports, this country is still really hurting for truck drivers.
We're used to throwing money at problems until they go away. Ok, so do the same thing with payroll and benefits, watch the human side of this disagreement evaporate overnight. Needing more port capacity, truck drivers, those will take longer unfortunately. Big Business is going to lose money no matter what thanks to where their greedy business culture has put them. Either it comes out of what goes to executive pay and bonuses (both having skyrocketed recently) or they get to keep losing employees and business until they sink into the red. Strikes right now seem more painful for the corps than the workers, but I hope they can work out some deals and let people get back to a semblance of normalcy, especially leading up to the holidays. Probably want to get this worked out before Moscow Mitch and the GQP create another financial crisis for Xmas.
