i don't think there's anything really to be done. there's just so many people that are discontent that they want to strike. even the premise of the question that carol is the boss who answers to no one and thus can offer anything in the negotiations is just false. she answers to the board who answer to the shareholders, if she were to simply appease the teamsters across the table she'd be fired. she wouldn't even be able to stand up from her chair much less conclude the negotiations before being fired and replaced.
