There definitely seems to be a lack of analysis about this. I flew back into Australia recently and we had to wait ~ 2 hrs for our luggage to come off the plane because there weren't enough baggage handlers to cope with the volume.

The representative who came around and explained this to everybody waiting at the conveyor belt seemed genuinely confused by the fact that they were unable to hire people to do this work, despite the fact that this very industry has been in the media for months/years now, with reports of poor conditions, strikes, exploitatative outsourcing, etc

Oh there’s plenty of analysis. What you witnessed was marketing .. cognitive dissidence at the corp level pushed down to the lowest as “gee we are trying to hire!”

Pay more. Get more. That is the only solution. Strikes also help.

Well. Unless you are american and your president makes it illegal to strike. (Railroad workers, most recently.)
