Couple thoughts............most people don't work for large corporations. Also, it's kind of a net-zero game......additional benefits means less pay. Otherwise, profits are down or prices go up. Pensions are pretty much gone because it's almost impossible to promise to pay in the future.
I don't think it's a big corporation problem.
IMO
