That's why strikes work. If you're not paid enough, not going to work barely loses you anything. If a workplace is shut down the company loses thousands per day. They still pay rent but earn no money.

Strikes usually end quickly if the company is focused on money. It's cheaper to pay workers a raise they originally deserved so they feel like they won, than stay closed.

This is not about pay.
