Smart people who are also wealthy understand their best play is to take their money and nope out of the game entirely, essentially becoming gut bacteria to a healthy biome. What we’re seeing now is the logical and expected response to unchecked wealth accumulation and corporate exploitation of the past hundred years, which has rotted multiple systems (economic, political, environmental, social, financial) to the point they teeter on collapse.
Collective action of the masses against the elite is essentially an immune response of the organism against an infection.
If you’re a leader and you don’t want a strike, the cheapest solution is to just pay your workers well and enable them to live a healthy, thriving life for themselves. Workers that feel valued and respected are less likely to organize, and in turn less likely to strike or make unreasonable demands. Paying everyone a thriving wage and benefits is a hell of a lot cheaper than the cost of that anti-labor law firm and resulting lawsuits.
