“Covid shone a cold light on our [workers’] powerlessness relative to employers”.
I’m not sure how much more backward you could get it. Employees, thanks to a 3-point-something unemployment rate, had all the leverage, and demanded the right to work from anywhere, when they wanted, and only as much as they wanted. Obviously this was much more the case with white-collar than blue-collar jobs, many of which are tied to location and physical presence. But workers at all levels benefitted from job openings many times greater in number than the number of workers available (or willing to actually work). Meanwhile employers’ businesses suffered as a result of being unable to fill openings.
In what counterfactual world of the imagination does this constitute “[workers’] powerlessness relative to employers”??
