Just this past month Stop & Shop workers struck and the company lost a lot of money before negotiating an end favorable to workers. This is effective.
Upper class professionals are less likely to strike even though proportionally they are giving away far more of their surplus labor.
- zelon88 7y agoI think a part of it too is how well the company is regarded by the employees. Market Basket is a really good company to work for. They pay well and offer decent benefits, and they have profit sharing and immense bonuses. I worked there, once in high school and again afterwards for a while. My ex was management and brought home $8,000 worth of bonuses one year at Christmas. And that was on-top of profit sharing, which they permit hardship withdrawals from. Google pays well and is highly regarded in the industry. Those jobs are worth fighting for.
