I knew wildcat action was unlikely but it still makes me sad. More, makes me wonder just what in the fuck it’ll take for American workers to actually fucking stand up for themselves.
Getting flashbacks to the times I organized unionization meetings that fucking none of my coworkers showed up to.
They would need some assurance or expectation that they aren’t just throwing away their livelihood. They’d need class consciousness, solidarity, and a well-defined common cause and large-scale strategy to follow.
They might not be striking, but don’t rule out sabotage. And even if they’re not sabotaging for real, overly stressed workers with low morale tend to make more mistakes. The question will be whether they’re mistakes or “mistakes.”
A slowdown is still possible, hopefully they’re just smart enough to not announce it
