I don't get the tone of the article. The author comes off as a whiny, smarmy, entitled asshole. What's wrong with a 20% raise? Article seems to be written by a hard, hard, hardcore socialist. My math tells me that lowest payed employees make around $35,000 USD, with a raise getting them closer to $40,000 USD. Nothing to snarf at.

"The final union-approved contract, close to Deere’s preceding “best and final offer,” grants 10% pay raises in 2021 and 20% raises overall in four years. That sounds great, until you learn that a 10% increase could mean pay bumps of less than $4,000 for some longtime workers. "
