I'm loving all this industrial action in America recently. Richest country in the world should be paying it's workers better.

First company to give their workers what they want without even negotiating gets me as a customer for life.

Those companies do not make the news.

This is cause the ones who redacted the price increase own the news.

That's what made me a Chapman's Ice Cream fan (in Canada) because of how they treated their workers during the pandemic. They gave a 2 dollar raise during the pandemic, making it permanent where so many other companies hoped it would be temporary, then a year later gave a $1 raise to fully vaccinated people, then six months later matched that for everyone else. That's how, as management you show your workers how valuable they are.
