Oh, it's true. Just look at everything you've gotten until now. It was always - always - when hiring and retention weren't enough. If there are a steady stream of enough coming in the door, they negotiate on nothing. Didn't one of the recent emails from the union pre pandemic actually state the company has no interest in talking.... that happens EVERY time they have what they need, regardless of what you need.
