All the strikes these days honestly just make me happy. Love seeing workers standing up for themselves.
I mean it does suck they need to strike at all…
If business owners weren’t parasites in the first place, and actually paid employees a thriving wage and treated them respectfully… there would be no need for unions in the first place, much less strikes.
And if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike
And therefore the rich have no responsibility to their workers …
Strikes and lockouts are powerful weapons that a disgruntled employer or employee have when contract negotiations go south.
It’s clear that as much as an employer wants to remove labour from their profit equation, they are still going to need it no matter what their business is with few exceptions.
I hope these actions are going to bring about a new generation of union leaders that aren’t just there to maintain status quo, but fight for better working conditions like we had fought for before.
