I know for many people the main condition is that their work wouldn't be cool with it so would lose income or threaten job. in union strikes, a huge part of our dues goes towards a strike fund to make sure people get income when striking so i think i would like to see some crowd funding general strike fund or some sort of union type thing but anyone in working class can join & point of it is to organize and fund assistance, legal help, anti-retaliation.

I'd be down to general strike though, some massive positive changes in history have been via general striking since wealthy class freaks out.

what do y'all think?

Maybe you have just worked in really well managed places?

I've worked in a number of places. Some better managed than others. The fact that I see this variation is why union "management is always bad" talking points just turn me off.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cos most management, in my experience, is authoritarian and gets results by shouting.

You do realise that management is there to get the most from you with the least expenditure?

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 0 points 1 day ago

Your experience is different than mine then. I suggest you get out and find other places where management isn't so bad.
