IMO it's not the contract. Why blame workers for what corporations do - and I don't mean give workers a raise.

Corporations bow to Wall Street pressure - but ask at least use vaseline.

Kubota is Japanese, and they have a US plant.

I had a customer back in the 90's who swore by the Chinese tractors and only bought those.

I used to see those tractors all the time at trade shows in China. I assumed that while few went to the US, massive numbers were being shipped to the developing world, particularly after the fall of the iron curtain.

Wage increases have been lower than inflation, so real wages are declining, continuing a multi-decade pattern. I suspect, one of the secondary covid effects, is going to be a rise in labor militancy. And a demand for an industrial policy which reverses job losses to China.

Historically, pandemics have caused big changes in political/economic/social power balances.
