Management are assholes and idiots.
Nothing will get better without demands. People need to organize.
But if I've learned anything from history, it's that the ownership class would rather murder all of their employees than give a few dollars more a day.
It's because the few more dollars per day empowers people not to have to deal with exploitative practices, to be able to save an emergency fund, to be able to look elsewhere for opportunities.
They had literal segments on Fox where they were complaining that companies couldn't strong arm people anymore because COVID turned the balance in labor value. Uber is known to give desperation compensation much lower then drivers who are more selective. Data is used to min-max labor exploitation.
