minus-squareGreenKnight23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·14 days agohow’d that work out for those Starbucks or Amazon employees? or how about Ludlow? it’s different this time. just because that something has “always” worked doesn’t mean it can’t stop working. you have to look back at when strikes were successful and ask why it was, then ask why any of those reasons work today. IMO I think we’re closer to Ludlow today than we have been in close to 70 years.
minus-squareWarl0k3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·14 days agoThis is getting boring dude. how’d that work out for those Starbucks or Amazon employees? Worse than it did for the steel workers, the Writer’s Guild of America and UAW. All of which were far longer strikes than four weeks, incidentally. it’s different this time. Why? Then ask why any of those reasons work today. Yes, please do that. IMO I think we’re closer to Ludlow today than we have been in close to 70 years. Okay.
minus-squareGreenKnight23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·14 days ago This is getting boring dude. cool. and here I thought we were having a civil discussion. I would hate to bore you anymore, so I guess we can just agree to disagree on the impacts of a general strike.
