More money than deities. Still cheapskates.
It's not enough to win; the other side must lose too.
Capital cannot concede any bargaining power to Labor, no matter the cost.
Just one historical example. The railroads nuked the unions (Wobblies), centered in Spokane WA. One tactic was charging more for freight to and from Spokane, the geographical center of the Inland Empire, than to bypass Spokane. So Seattle to Chicago was cheaper than Spokane to Chicago, even though the trains still go thru Spokane. Broke the union. And Spokane never recovered.
