4. I am.

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 they’re 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, it’s 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.
