What entrenched company doesn't have deep connections to local economies? That's how they were able to survive long enough to begin with.

In this environment, job stability Is an increase in wages. To ask for both is a typical US Union ploy which does not ensure the viability of the company's future or the future of the rest of the employees at the company.
