They are not suppose to strike. They WILLINGLY signed their employment contract to work and get paid. Now halfway thru, they feel they not getting a better deal (remember the strike is purely on not getting better deal and has nothing to do with sweatshop conditions - no one pointing gun at them). So workers really renegate on their employment contract and holding everyone hostage to renegotiate a better employment contract. What union suppose to do is make sure employment contracts are fair, no anticompete clause, salary being paid on time, insurance coverage, and workers continued education. Instead everything hinges on more pay (so can enrich union fee) because excuse of now it is not a living wage. Those workers can go learn coding and immediately getting 50% salary increase. They can go get a plumber certification and get better pay. They didnt. They being lazy and just assume doing the same thing today automatic given increments. They are the people who is ok Apple reselling and rebranding old iPhone with higher price but just the same locking others out with their propietary app store garden and lightning cable). In Chicago for example, if you are non-Union cable installer able to do the job cheaper and faster, union workers can force you to strip all those cables because simply you are non union even if unionized workers did a bad job of it. That is union. I was once pro union. After I ditched that mentality, moving from blue worker class and now in those 1-2% class through education. It really open my eyes MAJORITY of unionized workers are simply lazy. Some are hard working and do get oppressed, but even within Union they will oppress these people as it is bad for union business/growth. In coming years Asians with AI going to burn away a lot of American jobs. Unions just expedite that. I moved to Asia side to ensure my wealth and my descendants are better taken care of. America is so screwed these days.
