And I agree. The pandemic has driven home the fact that far too many people have been working for far less than a living wage for far too long, and theyre sick of sacrificing so the owners can pocket more of their cash.
This is absolutely as much a moral issue as it is an economic one.

If there are any upsides to the pandemic, its been the reexamination of the work-life balance, and how the working class has been nearly impoverished as Wall Street booms.
Labor-management relations will change. I hope.
