Should have thought about that before they crossed the picket line.
I work at one of the "Big 3" as a software engineer, we are not unionized and the strikes have before reached the engineering centers. What exactly do you suggest those in this situation do? If we don't go to work we get fired. There's tiny internal efforts at unionizing engineering but it's far from feasible yet.
I am genuinely asking, I'd love to not have to cross a picket line should the strikes make their way here, I fully support what the union wants and is doing. At the same time, I am afforded none of the protections the union has to enable them to strike. I go into the office, cross a picket line, to do a job completely unrelated to union work, or I get fired.
(No, running over picketers is literally never okay. But not everyone entering a facility is scabbing or trying to undermine the protest efforts)
I'd start applying to different jobs. Engineers quitting in solidarity would be a boost to the union. You likely have savings and employability to spare in comparison to the plant workers
Again, that's a complete lack of empathy and position of privilege.
Don't be a scab, don't deal with the "inconvenience" of people being hurt by scabs.
👌👍
Fuck off you, disingenuous troll. Go back to your redditwasbetter site and conservative echo chambers. You had no empathy when conservatives came for minorities killing migrants across the boarder, the teachers being targeted for a witch hunt, the women being targeted for health care, voting right and the violence against women act... don't act like you really care about this issue...
You got quite an imagination. I vote fairly progressive.
It's not imagined, when you said it all yourself through all your comments.. so again.. Fuck off, you disingenuous Troll.. your projection and emoji use to argue, is pathetic and a waste of time.. go back to your shittyredditapp.
I have literally no idea what you are talking about. You have imagined this perceived slight or attack.
