The AMPTP has explicitly said that their plan is to starve the workers out of their homes. This necessarily means starving the strike fund, which is not designed to provide long-term living wage in the first place.
If they cannot do that, they will be under more pressure to resolve quickly. This means a resolution for workers, for the industry, and for the broader economy that is being negatively affected. This makes fiscal sense, and is the socially responsible thing to do.
