It’s not smart to give a timespan for a strike. It just makes the CEOs treat it like a math problem.

One should always strike indefinitely until fairness is achieved.

Strikes don’t work in that case. Strikes only make sense in times where there’s a shortage of labor force. But in this case, the opposite is the case: there’s more than enough potential workers, and that’s why wages are low.

The labor market is a market. It has supply (workers) and demand (jobs). High supply --> lower prices (wages). Higher demand --> higher prices (wages). It’s that simple.

Fundamentally, workers in the US, no - wait, actually, worldwide, are fucked. There’s a declining number of well-paying jobs, and the supply of workers has stayed constant or even increased over the last 60 years. Of course, that leads to lower wages. I don’t think we can “innovate” our way out of this one. The only true solution that can pacify the people and avert a civil war is the Universal Basic Income - it guarantees that people can have viable lifes and have “too much to lose”. There’s no alternative - demand it from your politicians!

It’s a shame they’re not selling merch with that slogan on it, it’s a banger.

A good way of adding to the strike fund too without needing to attend.

Hopefully this will get people to at least try out their local independent coffee shops. Nice little holiday boost for them, maybe some converts.
