They can fix the problem pretty quickly by offering wholesale paid ab initio training, with a modest salary and benefits. Further advantage there is that it does NOT fall under union/CBA jurisdiction so they can throttle that up and down at will.
Let me ask, do you have a thorough and deep understanding of how the concept of Barriers to Entry applies to wage levels in our Profession?

And how this applies to nearly all highly compensated Professions
