There are proposed microfoundations for efficiency wages that do not necessary imply a significant level of bargaining power for an individual worker.
Logically, the workers knew there was no onus for them to leave their cars. But when your friendly coworker comes along "I know it is warm in there, but can you please come outside with the rest of us who don't have the same luxury?" it is hard in Canadian culture to say no. Rather you get "Sorry. I'll be right there."
