You don't think the people striking are suffering financially?

Maybe they are but not to the point there homeless. And maybe some that don't need the money to pay for parents medical bills

I guess I get where you're coming from, but I'm sure plenty of them are living paycheck to paycheck too. Maybe I'm being idealistic but some sacrifice is worth it when solidarity gets you better results for the long run.

But they still have a roof over there heads. How many of the strikers strike knowing there at risk of being evicted? I'm sure some people who don't strike have that issue

Would you be willing to sacrifice your home and live on the streets to improve conditions?

If I were in that position, yes, but that wouldn't be a situation I find myself in, I live below my means. Unions typically pay their striking members so... I could live without a few things to have better long term conditions.

Your free to do what you want. But im free to think your a rat for it. Sure rats gota eat but crossing my line is eating my food.

by Anonymous 11 months ago

You having a line should not restrict others from eating though. You literally chose to strike instead of just finding another job. Go find another job and let others eat where they want.

It's not just doing something different, it is literally siding with ownership over your fellow workers who are struggling to get the compensation and human dignity they deserve.

But that helps the company and hurts the workers. I empathize with that choice and understand how difficult that is. The union should work together to help those in their ranks and the rest of us should not steal their job. virtually every single protection workers have in the US is because workers stuck together, at great risk to themselves, for the collective good. Child labor laws. Breaks. 40 hour weeks. Overtime. Safety regulations so you don't die from machinery or pollution. 1 of us does not have the leverage to change a corporation. All of us, together, do. For the love of god, it is our only chance to make things livable. It will be harder for some than for others, but most of us are only a couple paychecks away.

You seem to be threatening us with your "nessasary" union. If workers don't have rights we should picket the government, not the company. You want equal rights then every worker deserves the benefits. Not just the union workers... you don't want equality, you want to be better then the lesser scabs

Well i think getting yours at the cost of others is acting like a rat. What do you think acting like a rat is?

Calling people rats…..

by Anonymous 11 months ago

That's your definition. To me a person like that isn't a rat if they never openly agreed to striking. If you decide to strike and go back on your words then yeah, I could agree with calling them a rat. However, a lot of people would also think people like you, who knowingly accept a job with a certain paycheck and then waste everyone's time constantly bitching and striking to have more, are lazy commie parasites. Just go to work ffs. If you have no benefits or rights because you live in the glorious US you gotta realize the country has to be expected to fix the issue, not a company.

If you join the union, that is your agreement. Pretty simple.

Applicable only when employees aren't obliged to join the union as a condition of employment.

If someone crosses the picket line they should have never been in the union to begin with. And that's okay. What is not okay is to gain the advantages of union solidarity without any of the responsibilities. The only exception to this are people forced into union representation as a precondition of the job. Janus at least helped with this, but did not solve all the issues inherent with forced union representation.

Yeah while the union president is making >$1M a year, they're ok with telling line workers to strike...

by Anonymous 11 months ago

Just googled real quick and can't find a single union leader making anywhere close $1m and the highest paid union leaders represent massive industries. You complain about CEOs making more?

It's amazing how quickly people try to drag you down just because they want to stubbornly sink themselves to make a point. The main clause of the "right to work" is self explanatory. You have the right to go work at your job if your employer will allow it. My coworkers have zero say in how much I work and the size of my paycheck.

It should be a criminal offense to cross a picket line, and scabs should face penalties of double their wages for doing so.

You gonna punish a man for needing to feed his family? What do those people do? Are you going to help them out? Does the union bring by food for their family? Do they speak to the utility companies to not shut off their electricity or water? Does the bank agree to not apply penalties for non or late payments on your mortgage?

by Anonymous 11 months ago

He can go feed his family. Just not at the expense of the people who operate the business being picketed. Find some honest work, because being a scab is anything but honest work.

by Anonymous 11 months ago

Unions calling people scabs isn't honest either….ö also i could say what your saying to all strikers to do the same thing don't like it find other work

Umm, bringing in temp workers to eliminate the effects of a strike on a business is nothing more than union busting, and should be a crime, and anyone participating in such temp labor is just as contemptible for enabling the owner class to maintain its stranglehold.
