That is rather improbable...large labour force that is somewhat specialized in skill..cannot be sent home without serious repercussions to the company..
it was rather expected.. you cannot suddenly spring into making super profits and no meaningful adjustment upwards is made on salaries especially of unionized workers..
If it were the workers who produced more but NO... The profits (not super-profits coz ROA is rather low) are growing due to other factors NOT that KPLC workers have become more efficient!
KPLC workers have been losing clout to private (cheaper) contractors thus this is a ploy by COTU to 'strengthen' their numbers. This is not about higher salaries (BTW, KPLC workers are well-paid) but preserving their jobs!
In addition, KPLC has trained these ingrates.... they did not come into the job with the skills!
Since they are 'specialized' a few months in the cold without decent paying jobs should cool them down...
