Strikes cost them more than just a few sick days and a couple extra bucks an hour.  When your entire income is shut down due to a strike,  that’s millions a day in lost money, potentially loosing contracts.   Companies may choose trucking over trains if you aren’t reliable.

They don't want to spend money on employees, not that they can't. For profit organizations have no reasons to throw more money to employees than they have to. >

Striking is a good reason why they should have to pay employees more.
