In this specific example they tried to pay more but couldn’t find anyone for a lot of different reasons. They had an industry that was propped up by artificially cheap labor (migrants with no other options). There are other artificially cheap labor markets that big companies prey on - like labor markets where the workers dont make enough to actually eat so the companies employ people to tell the workers how to use state welfare more effectively. It’s a complete farce at best for people to assume this is pure capitalism working as intended for these labor markets to exist at all. it’s either backed by the state or by really nasty external forces that give segments of people very few other options. You can employ people and pay them enough to survive and still make a profit, yet there are weird segments of the internet that insist some types of work must be done on the backs of essentially slave labor. if that’s truly the case it should change.
