How To Support a Strike (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

18 comments fedilink hide all child comments

A friend of mine just announced that they and their co-workers are going on a strike to protest poor working conditions and pay.

What are some concrete steps I can do to support them? What are some things they can do to ensure the strike gets attention and is successful?

It depends on the form of strike. Are they outside with "Krusty Krab Is Funfair" signs? Are they sitting at home playing solitaire? Did they join the rival business?

They cannot join a rival business (nature of the industry / position they're in) and they are picketing.

I could probably take a day off work and show up with food / water. Not sure how helpful that is?

Walking the line with them is helpful. A strike with community support will pretty nearly always be more successful than one without.

Excellent! I'll definitely do that! Thanks for the feedback.
