Sysco didn’t hire new people; they flew already-contracted workers from a different part of the country. Sure, they have the right to do so, and it’s great for them because the wages for those workers are lower than the wages of the ones striking. The service is still shit, but so is the service from pretty much everyone, and it’s what we as a country allow corporations to get away with in the name of their profits over our livelihoods. Corporate oligarchy is ruining this country. You can think that’s ok; I can think it’s a system rigged to keep employees from being able to successfully fight for better benefits. Something we used to be able to do, and amazingly we had a large middle class and significantly smaller income discrepancies between the poorest and the wealthiest. Best of luck to the strikers. Hope they succeed despite Sysco’s efforts.
