Not only that, but what labor that is organized isn’t educated enough to understand how their strikes work.
My union had 99% approval to strike over the new collective bargaining agreement and then the vote on the agreement came back in almost as much support even though the deal was mid at best. Anyone I asked about it said they didn’t want to go on strike because of concerns about their pay. None of them knew that they’d get paid out of the strike fund and thar for many of them their strike pay would be a slight raise over their weekly pay.

Strike pay more than a normal check??? Fuck that’s a well stocked fund. When I was on strike a couple years ago I had to go salting to pay my bills
