Makes sense actually. An extra day's pay every week wouldn't even cover half the losses they've realized from inflation over the past two decades. Central banks keep pumping money into the markets, increasing inflation, but then all the growth gets swallowed up by the financial markets. When you add in phenomenons like the explosion of the gig economy, workers realize they are getting paid less and less and less.
Populations are growing increasingly aware that corporate profits and working wages have massively diverged in recent years. They are getting pissed off watching executives pocket all the growth in the form of stock market pumps, exercised stock options, and corporate buybacks......as their own lives have been getting decidedly worse for decades now on a nonstop trajectory.
We've been living through an era (nearly an entire generation now) where corporate greed and financial excess has reached unimaginable levels. Nobody should be surprised when the tides finally turn and the workers of the world want Jeff Bezos' head on a fucking pike, along with a laundry list of demands for a better life.
Governments and industry ought to pay close attention to the way the winds are blowing. They are just ravaging the middle class. If they keep letting the middle class evaporate, they will be in big trouble in another decade or two as societies destabilize.
