I’d love to think you’re right but i reckon that’s wishful thinking.
the operators only get away with such behaviour because the clients allow (encourage) it.
they’re interested in cheap, not good.
the more time and verbiage a company puts into “ sharing it’s ethos and values” the lower my expectations of them.
the race to the bottom is well advanced and one or two operators trying to reverse it will simply be overtaken.
industrial action is the only option and it will merely slow it down rather than stopping anything.
