It’s another chapter in the long dance between Organized Business and the labor who actually staff said Businesses.
Big Businesses, and Large Corporations have the incentive to drive down wages and offer less for more. Us the general population have every incentive to want to raise our wages and improve our Working Conditions. Such as reducing competition and supply of workers.
When one segment of the song and dance gets too powerful we get stuff like the Gilded Age. Where most of the general population lives in various degrees of comparative poverty while the Industrialists and Business Leaders have enough money to buy and sell countries in a very literal sense. The Gilded Age is where we coined the Term “Banana Republic” as private companies. Often Fruit Companies. Overthrew Governments in South and Central America left right and center.
Or we get Europe. Where a single Union strike can paralyze a country for months. Because of the amount of influence the Union holds.
Hell. Closer to home a perfect example is Teachers Unions in some States. Always demanding more and more money and funding. While consistently trying to lower the bare minimum standards and any oversight the State Government has over what is actually going on.
