Unions are much stronger in Europe. In the US they’re a lot more limited in what they can do, if a strike would be too disruptive, which is, you know, the whole fucking point of a strike, the government can just forbid it.
Fuck the economy. The fact that capitalist society runs on nothing but greed and the desire for infinite growth is an issue, not the economy being “bad”
That’s why what we really need is for unions themselves to unionize to threaten a general strike. It’s an absolute last resort as it would be a complete economic killswitch, but it’s a threat that can’t be ignored.

It drives me crazy how people almost always fail to see the other answer.
“well if they don’t get sick days and proper pay the economy shuts down”
Like, you’re not even having a debate about which framing makes the most sense, they just don’t see one of them.
