Fully agreed. I work in such a job (laborer), and the only thing I can figure is that giving office workers extra time off has less of an impact, whereas giving laborers off would affect production/output/service/whatever. We can't have that now, can we? Those companies did not enact this policy without their bottom line as priority, as usual.

Less of an impact on profits, more impact on workers

Business don't give a shit about workers and this only reinforces that belief. This is a thin facade of caring about workers in that only the ones that don't really matter are treated well. IMO that's what makes this class warfare. It's all the people with cushy high paying jobs that get cares for, and all the others get shat on
