Investopedia explains 'Sticky-Down'

A classic example of something that is "sticky-down" are wages; employees will never mind a wage increase, but attempting to reduce wages is something that has historically been so unsuccessful that it is almost never attempted anymore. Workers relentlessly refute any wage declines, regardless of whether it is in the best interest of all workers in the long term.
