It feels kinda hollow supporting the strike at Fred Meyers by shopping at Winco (which isn’t organized at all in Oregon AFAIK) or Target (ditto, and also notoriously treats their people like dirt)
Is that just the price to pay for progress?
I would imagine that any destabilization in the operations of a capitalist system benefits the worker. Sure, Winco makes more money today, giving them a false impression of scale. And after FM falls in line, we go after Winco, giving them an even more pronounced loss of capital. Even if nothing happens, you've still added volatility to the system. That's better than nothing.
Thank you for the validation comrade!
No problem homie. We all got to eat.
