We need unions whose strike threats aren’t simply negotiation tactics. We need rank-and-file control and bottom-up democracy.

Regardless in how you feel about Dave Chappelle's anti-trans jokes, I truly bwlive we need to start striking large streaming companies. Firing a worker for protesting should be a concern for all of us.

I say we repeat every friday until traction is gained.

Today showed that big business sees our threat. That means its time to dig in and spread awareness. Places where fridays are big profit days will be the most important!!!

UTAH IS STARTING

We are kicking off our strike today with a protest at the capital! Call in sick, or leave work tell your employer you have a family emergency. Or better yet just talk to your co-workers right now, and walk out all together to join us at the capital! See you soon!

If you’re striking and not involved in more organized action, consider solo or team postering. This one’s conveniently sized to fit on half a standard A4 sheet of paper.

Boycott

I feel like a boycott would have been more successful and attainable.

How many people are participating in the strike tomorrow?

Hey, I just recently found this sub. Seems like the strike tomorrow has been in the works for months, does anyone know where to find info on what locations it's primarily happening in and what the estimated turnout is? Also is there an updated list of demands?

Is this part of it (paying for the domain name = economic activity)? Or did something happen?

Billionaire Barry Sternlicht wants the gov't to pay people to go back to work. His company owns hotels

The key quote "it isn't even what we pay".

If they pay $30 they get people. He'd better do it now because increased Boomer retirements will cripple his chances later.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/13/barry-sternlicht-says-he-cant-find-workers-calls-on-government-to-pay-people-to-go-back-work.html

"The shrinking U.S. workforce during the Covid pandemic is "going to cripple" the economic recovery, businessman Barry Sternlicht warned Wednesday.

The founder of Starwood Capital, which operates hotels as part of its broader portfolio, said the government should pay people to go back to work.

"The whole service economy is in a crisis," he said. "The country can't really work without its service people back."

"The whole service economy is in a crisis, whether it's a restaurant, a pizzeria, a laundromat, a small shop. Amazon can raise wages, no problem," but mom-and-pop shops can't, Sternlicht said on CNBC's "Squawk Box."

As an example, he said one of his hotels in Brooklyn, New York, is trying to fill 40 jobs on its 220-person staff.

"It isn't even what we pay," he said. "They won't leave their house or whatever they are doing."
