> recouping what they were owed

I’m just a dumb blue collar worker, but I’m going to go with “No” here.

They were only ever owed what they agreed to work for.

Now, that’s changed and they negotiated a different agreement.

They were never owed this until both parties agreed they were.

I don't think it was meant to be taken so literally.

Yeah right. Who knows what anything means any more.
