    You stopped too soon.

    • Workers can’t live off the low wages and have to quit and find other employment
    • Company can’t hire anyone willing to be paid a non-liveable wage
    • Company has to decide to change or close

    I am not saying the workers are at fault. But their participation is part of the problem.

      They won’t change. There are to many exploitable workers and to few opportunities.

      This is just eurotrash looking down on other people.

        Recent history suggests otherwise.

        Also, this is not how economic realities work. Unless maybe you can pull in people with zero experience in the field and serve food and still have customers, but at that point, are you a restaurant? And who wants to eat there?

      This literally happened last year in France. Greedy tourist restaurant owners woke up to loads of workers not returning to their restaurants for the summer, having moved to other jobs the because the pay was too bad.

      They were even on the radio and on the TV news, complaining about how entitled the young workers were and what were they doing to the tourism economy etc. The answer was extremely simple: pay us properly and we’ll take the jobs.

      You won’t believe what happened next. (You will, it’s very obvious)

      They paid better wages.
