Why is it pathetic? Reform and worker protection are always the result of these, strikes have always been the token of negotiations (well, apart from taking executives as hostages, but it's no one's preferred method)
Pathetic that it’s necessary to strike. Pathetic that the leaders can’t understand worker value. Pathetic that investors are prioritized over workers.
Strikes and collective bargaining are amazing tools to fight greed. It’s pathetic that they’re needed in the amounts they’re needed right now because of the enormous increase in greed and poor worker treatment. It’s a breakdown of moral behavior.
