I thought for a bit that the tactics were increasingly applied by many workers. sadly enough they aren't applying planned coordinated actions, they just are so

  > sadly enough they aren't applying planned coordinated actions If you have an organization, it can be attacked, both legally and extralegally. Cf. the history of labor organizing in the US. And without it, distributed, uncoordinated action is less likely to lead to positive-sum outcomes, but is also a far harder-to-suppress tax on the corporate order.

    Not sure whether that is a good thing, nor that it is a non organised but conscious effort to sabotage systems. I think many workers have figured out there isn't much that can be done to improve their conditions, that they have meaningless impacts, and that they don't value their employment all that much anymore, that doing the minimum and even enjoying sabotaging what they can is the last measures they can afford to take, providing each individual the pleasure that nobody is profiting from them any longer. Note: I think it's a world-wide phenomenon, not localised to the US where clearly, the workers have changed their relationships with productivity and contributions to making the system prevail.
