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
is anyone other than senior executives and shareholders complaining about the amazon strike?
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.
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.
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.
