No, you aren't. You initially said that in relation to the article, saying these people are fighting trump "too little too late", and I'm saying that these people have been doing stuff at least as early as 2017, according to the article. Which is right about when people needed to do stuff, during the first Trump presidency.

So stop jumping around.

And if you're trying to pretend you're talking about the labor movement overall, there's been a form of the labor movement here in the US since the colonial period, and you're kind of spitting on the efforts, sacrifices and lives lost of the labor movement that's been trying all this time to fight for workers. If you think that they haven't accomplished anything, read up on the triangle work shirt fire while you're on the toilet at work knowing you have a set time to go home and aren't locked in there.
