    We had a major infrastructure strike. It was brief, workers got more of what they wanted on their terms. The sky didn’t fall, the entire economy didn’t immediately collapse.

    All the fearmongering surrounding rail workers being able to strike was anti-labor bullshit.

      Everyone talks like it’s the dock workers going on strike that’s the issue and not the corporations refusing to pay more.

      Businesses make decisions to have a strike by refusing to listen to their hundreds or thousands of workers.
