Strike and strike and strike and strike until you have victory

Strike wave baby!

Quote:

Wave of US labor unrest could see tens of thousands on strike within weeks Tens of thousands of workers around the US could go on strike in the coming weeks in what would be the largest wave of labor unrest since a series of teacher strikes in 2018 and 2019, which won major victories and gave the American labor movement a significant boost. The unrest spans a huge range of industries from healthcare to Hollywood and academia, and is largely focused on higher wages, fighting cuts and better working and safety conditions, especially in light of Covid-19. It also plays out against a backdrop of an economy bouncing back from the torrid experience of widespread economic shutdowns during the coronavirus pandemic, but one that is still marked by profound inequality.

Reports that Deere is getting a bunch of salaried desk jockies to go work in the assembly plants as the hourly staff is on strike. What could go wrong with a bunch of engineers trying to weld together a combine harvester?

Quote:

From a salary worker @ Deere: "The Deere "strikebreakers" are currently ~650 salary employees pulled from engineering & mgmt positions across Deere. Note: I say "Strikebreakers" because I can guarantee that with our lack of skill and numbers, we will not be breaking the strike."
