    Not sure what a union would have done in this case. The problem is near term cost of inputs vs long term contracts with fixed revenue.

    I’m not saying it would be bad for this to kick them into forming a union, only that it wouldn’t have solved this problem unless the union had an education campaign to explain why excessive tariffs are bad.

      Or I’d imagine, if the bonuses were part of the hypothetical collective bargaining agreement’s verbage, as an entitlement.
