When I was reading this story, knowing how US vacation/PTO is something like 2 weeks per year or less - I was thinking: "This is so depressing, the US is hell for workers". But then I got angry, and thought: "Why aren't these people forming unions and going on general strikes? They used to do it in the late 19th century... that's how they got the 8-hour working day." And then I remembered that: 1. large existing US unions are often either corrupt or decrepit 2. US culture is horribly anti-worker 3. US corporations do almost everything to disrupt unionization efforts. Years back they would do absolutely everything including hiring mercenaries/saboteurs like the Pinkerton people ... so I need to cut them some slack. Anyway, my suggestion is to maybe try the wobblies: https://www.iww.org/ https://www.iww.org/
