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

Of course. People hate being mildly inconvenienced.

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