Good. Hopefully workers win in the end. These corporations are nothing without their workers.

If the strike lasts long enough there's always gonna be non-union workers willing to come cross the picket line for $30 an hour with no benefits.

I have two cousins that work at the local Ford plant. They're still on shift for now but they could join the picket line any day now.

Rooting for the workers but given how long the Hollywood strike has been going I doubt it'll end well.

I mean, ngl, if I didn't have a job I'd happily take that job and just do a shitty, half-assed job and take in the easy money.

But I also know nothing about any sort of auto work lol

30 dollars an hour in a 12 hour swift would get you 360 dollars a day.

Surprisingly I actually have gotten paid over $30 as a cashier before, even if it was only with holiday pay that was double time and a half

Gotta love unions

Definitely need to demand wage protections for inflation and recessions.

They deserve every penny they get. Fuck the corporations

This is what we need more of. Capital holders aren't going to give you fair pay and treatment just out of the goodness of their hearts.

Fellow Workers, pay attention
To what Im going to mention
For it is the clear contention of the Workers of the World
That we should all be ready
True-hearted, brave, and steady
To rally round the standard when the Red flag is unfurled!

Where the Fraser River flows,
Each Fellow Worker knows:
They have bullied and oppressed us, but still our Union grows
And were gonna find a way, boys
Shorter hours and higher pay, boys
And were gonna win the day boys, where the Fraser River flows!
