    Ironically their “reason” for why they can’t afford to provide sick days (“we don’t have enough manpower to give people more days off”) is going to do the exact opposite by increasing attrition and making attracting new talent more difficult. But don’t worry, they’ll just lobby congress to repeal the minimum safe staffing requirements to address their created “labor shortage”.

    Don’t believe me, look up how hard they’re pushing for one man crews right now. Soon they’ll have just one guy (who has been working 80 hour weeks and hasn’t seen his kids in months) running a 3 mile long industrial machine solo, carrying hazardous materials through all weather conditions, likely right through your residential neighborhood.

    Will there be casualties? Without a doubt. But the returns for shareholders will be glorious.
