It's also the agreed upon method we came up with for resolving disputes without beating factory owners to death in front of their kids as the meme the other day mentioned
I genuinely worry about massive eruptions of violence. Why doesn’t the upper class realize that if they keep pushing, keep taking more and more and more, one day shit is just going to break down.
Because they've spent a century brainwashing a majority of the workforce into believing unions are evil communist cults designed to teach people to eat babies.
Don't let rhetoric in communities like this fool you into thinking most people want to rise up against their oppressors. Theres a reason Republicans have as much support as they do.

Stop blaming strikes for economic damage. Strikes are a logical response to overreach and greed from corporations and the wealthy. If there is resulting economic damage, look to those who drove the workers to strike in the first instance. https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei/110735742133200337
Why are the work reformists teamed up with the anti workers? If the work gets reformed, then the workers would be happier and do more work.
