I remember my mother taking me into a store when I was a child where people were striking.
I asked why they were yelling since I couldn’t read the signs. I was told “because they’re lazy and think they should be paid more than people like your father”
It was many years before I understood what they were mad about, and that they do NOT believe they should be paid more, they believe everyone should be paid more but they only have control over their own employment.
Nowadays whenever I see employees striking, I give them a little fist out the window and a meep meep and shop somewhere else.
Don’t cross picket lines, your nacho cheese or deodorant can be bought somewhere else. Bonus points if you call the employer to inform them that you are shopping elsewhere until their employees conditions have been met and they decide to end the strike.
I’ll never understand that logic… No, your father is horribly underpaid and instead of joining forces with the unions to get better working conditions and wages, we’re gonna shit on them so we have no leg left to stand on.

Brilliant
It’s easier to punch down than punch up.
Yes, but in this case they are punching up - just not high enough.
