This is the kind of action where the Biden administration is making deliberate efforts to force up wages in the US as the most direct was to increase social equity. The old theory was let business make the money, then raise taxes and redistribute. But Biden's people have realized that the tax increases never come, so their approach is try to get more people making higher incomes. Of course the corporate pushback is just as fierce, but the advantage politically is that you can point directly to the beneficiaries of the policies, whereas the beneficiaries of increased social welfare spending are too diffuse to create effective political support.
