Well, in your example did the truckers make frequent raids on the pool of data entry workers to do the grunt work outside while requiring that the data entry people simultaneously to keep up with their own workload indoors (since that workload theoretically doesn’t exist)? When data entry workers called out or fled to other employers and there were only finite man hours available for the work at hand, was the data entry work suspended in favor of keeping the truckers trucking, or did the truckers have to suspend their own work to cover the data entry shifts because without the pink collar workers no money comes in, no customers are waited on, and the place would quickly stop meeting its payroll?
