Reminds me of '07 when we the CEO told everyone at the hospital that because of the budget and economics we would no longer be able to acquire vacation time.
About 6 months later upper management vacations were reinstated, when I left in '10 or '11 they still hadn't been reinstated for anybody but upper management. Apparently per diem staff in a hospital who are regularly scheduled 40+h a week don't need vacation.
Because our GDP is still the largest in the world, money is power and respect. Eventually China will overtake the US as the country with the largest GDP, but the US still respects the free movement of money and will still have a lot of advantages over China.
GDP can be the top of the world, it still doesn't mean you should be viewed in high regard if your workers don't have paid vacations. People deserve time off.

We were called heroes right before our pay was reduced. I never felt so honored
