The thing is, businesses have a vested interest against wage growth, as wage growth is directly and totally incompatible with annual record profits - wage growth would eat into that.
Put simply, it’s a conflict of interest. If people with conflicts of interest ceased to be allowed to participate in conversations wherein they have that conflict, the world would be a better place.

I recall more than one year where they asked for minimum wage increases that were less than inflation. They don’t just want wages to stagnate, they want wages to decrease.
