Yet legislating a contract is being touted as some sort of supply chain necessity. Basically short-term thinking that kicks the can down the road.
And of course, the government's actions are exactly why this situation exists. Large companies know that the politicians they give money to will have their backs in these situations and will legislate everyone back to work, so why bother compromising or negotiating in good faith?
