Mass strikes. Call your union, other unions, whatever union. Organise a mass strike day. Repeat it every week.

Unions? You think we have unions in the US? Most have been systematically destroyed by republicans since Reagan.

This is hilarious. Last time my union tried to do anything, Biden stepped in and stopped us. Then he took a victory lap about being a hero in to us while Congress forced a shitty contract down our throats.

If you went on strike republicans would have blamed Biden for not stopping it AND every dumb fuck American who never pays attention would believe it because they’d be directly affected and he was President.

Not like it fucking mattered in the end.

Call your union

90% of Americans have failed at this step. That's not a joke or hyperbole, less than 10% of Americans have membership to a labor union.

Unions are rare here and trying to organize anything just gets you fired and jobless. Plus people are struggling just to eat, they can't all strike. It's really not that simple.
