Yep, and I can’t think of a single time when a striking union’s demands weren’t reasonable. You don’t strike on a whim; that is the last option for conflict resolution, and you’re not getting paid for the duration of it. That said, you’re going to make damn sure that your demands are reasonable and are likely to be met as soon as possible.
Strikes are also very visible, so you are going to want public opinion on your side. Thus, you’re even more encouraged to head to the negotiating table in good faith. But, every time it happens, higher ups always try to paint the strikers as greedy, entitled leeches demanding a handout (almost as if they’re projecting 🤔 ).
Not OP but I’m more inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to the guy earning a fraction of what he produces than the dickweed who does nothing of importance and earns way more in a year than the workers will in a lifetime.
I can’t wait for Oliver to talk about this on his show and spend some stupid amount of money to help the cause
Regretfully, his show is currently shut down in solidarity with the writer’s strike.
The writers demands seem quite reasonable and I hope that this conflict is resolved.

Don’t the union leaders make money even during strikes?
Doesn’t US unions have money set aside for strikes so that they can support their members if there is a strike?
Don’t know. Probably changes union to union
No idea
You need to remember that even though the ceos aren’t angels, that doesn’t mean everyone else is
If you believe that only angels are on your side, you probably are a Jehova’s Witness.
I believe that every side has it’s pieces of shit, some just less shitty than others

Not more than the union members
