Good, I don’t need my christmas packages on time if people aren’t getting paid reasonably for delivering them.

There was a strike at my supermarket a few months ago, and some Nextdoor Karens’ went:

“During the start of the school season?!”

Like it’s not supposed to be CONVENIENT.

Funny how media never blames management for strikes happening or lasting longer than they need to

Because the same people who own the media are the same people who support the companies fighting against the striking workers

We had the Canada Post strike here recently and my coworker was talking about how little respect she had for them because they just deliver mail and how stupid the strike and picket lines were. We’re unionized and it protects us from lots and pays us very well, and she doesn’t see why that’s the same thing.

Of course. People hate being mildly inconvenienced.

I hear it often from people, especially during the train strikes, often paired with them saying how they have bad working conditions and poor pay too. I generally try to help them understand that if you have union envy that’s a problem with your organisation, not theirs.

Collective action works. It has changed the world before, and will do again. There is a reason why all these employers are scared of it.

I bet Biden will try to bully Congress into making it illegal like he did with the railway workers strike…

Fuck the police that broke the picket. Getting something that you could have bought elsewhere in the post isn’t life and death.

The police are a joke.

The Police Union is one of the strongest unions in the country - so powerful, they protect their workers who literally commit murder.

Then these same folks protect millionaires and harass workers trying to unionize.

I think you should automatically lose any union representation if you’re union busting

Police “unions” give unions a bad name.

The reason the police union is one of the strongest is that they’re the only union you can’t send the police to harass
