>At the end of the day, the amount of money that can be allocated to workers is finite, so we have to choose some way of distributing that money. Agreed, and this method has been chosen in advance for us: employers squeeze as hard as they can, while we squeeze back as hard as we can.

It has nothing to do with what makes more "sense" or what is "fair." There is no policy decision to make here. I'm just describing reality.
