This could be addressed by having more labor-conscious journalists and headline writers.

Framing it that way, of course people would respond negatively to price increases.

"Amazon workers now paid for all the time they're clocked in, prices may be affected" is a lot more sympathetic to workers.

Labor conscious writers mean nothing if their editors (and newspaper / website / whatever) owners disagree. Ultimately the wordsmiths need to get paid, too, and they write what gets them money -- which is what their bosses want to print.

I feel like they're labor conscious they just don't give a fuck or are actively opposed.
