"I can grab any piece of shit off the street and replace you in 20 seconds." Is what most of them think when it comes to meat machine labor like myself. :(

Individually? Maybe. That's why worker solidarity is important. Let the bastard replace the whole team while you're out front protesting shit pay and long hours.

That works for menial labor in a down job market or a city without much opportunity. It doesn't work for most career oriented positions, or in a strong job market. It costs a company considerably more to replace someone than to compensate them better.
