OP note: a tentative agreement has been reached! 25% pay increase!  

That 25% is spread out over the life of the contract.  Barely keeps up with inflation unfortunately.  This inflation has wrecked the country.

Better than nothing, right? 

I guess printing so much money in 2020 was a bad idea!

Next pandemic those who are old, have asthma or are overweight should stay home while everyone else works as usual.

Which is what my Immunology-expert-friend told me way back in early 2020..but I got trounced when I shared this viewpoint by the know-it-alls who were more comfortable following the official lies.

And Toyota announced a big increase for their factory workers.

I remember one of my favorite college professors who was anti-union said companies should be like P&G and treat their employees fairly and take care of them but try to keep the unions out.   He mentioned P&G being non-union but a great company to work for if you were hardworking.   Sounds like Toyota is a similar type company.

Unfortunately we printed our way out of the pandemic in 2020 and now we're suffering the consequences of those actions.
