If you read the article, evidently the IWW's customer service was better.

An international union actually makes sense if you think about today's corporate landscape.

Modern large corps are very international, with facilities for production, distribution, and retail all over the globe, so just striking in one country doesn't make sense because funds and production can be shifted so quickly to a different city, state, or country.

The pandemic demonstrated how tightly connected the supply chains are, so striking just one or a few parts can have ripple effects on the bottom line.
