It’s pathetic that these are needed, but corporate leaders have treated the workforce like shit for far too long. The entirely lackluster wage growth in the face of skyrocketing profits and corporate success must come to an end, and collective bargaining with strikes is by far the strongest tool workers have.
As the numbers in this localized strike grow across industries, so does their chance of success. It’s still a fraction of the pushback we should be showing, but it’s an incredibly commendable action from those involved.
Lower and middle class workers need to unite for their fair share. We must set aside our differences and fight the one battle that is more impactful than all the others: class war.
