Low. The likelihood is low. Even the government is more willing to fight inflation by harming workers than a company's profits. We'd need more unions - groups

Low. The likelihood is low.
Even the government is more willing to fight inflation by harming workers than a company's profits.
We'd need more unions - groups with some power over companies who will speak for worker's rights. And while they are starting to proliferate after decades of FUD, their power is also being cut off at the knees by laws that prevent strikes.
It's critical that the jobs be filled, yet those who fill those jobs have no power.
- tyingq 4y ago>Even the government is more willing to fight inflation by harming workers I see that, though it's interesting that Social Security is getting an 8.7% COLA. Edit: Which is unusual, and new.
- falcolas 4y agoWell, Social Security isn't for workers... Opinion time: One might even say Social Security is primarily used by the cohort with the most time to dedicate to political ventures. Bluntly, it's a bribe for the Baby Boomer generation to remain loyal to their politicians.
- mrguyorama 4y agoMy understanding is that the COLA for SS is codified into law basically and can't really be toyed with.
