Workers are quitting their jobs and not going back. Restricted supply is seeing wages go up. Does this signal a new militancy, or are workers just deciding to make do with less? How has the pandemic shaped people's outlooks?

It sure would be nice with some wage increases, but I haven't seen anything of it myself yet. And even if my union could negotiate good deal in next year's round of negotiations, I doubt it will keep up with inflation, especially not with the soaring electricity prices.
