So unionization?
TheRaven@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Yes. That’s certainly one of the best ways.

Unions are tragically toothless when the federal government can just decide a planned strike is illegal.
MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 7 months ago
More unions need to coordinate and actually create threat of a general strike. The UAW ending their contract on May Day and calling for others to do the same actually seems like a pretty good way to leverage power. I don’t think the government can move quick enough to block that kind of collective action.

Biden literally signed an executive order blocking railway workers from striking. If he has that kind of authority and is willing to use it in that way, then all he has to do is make an executive order declaring all strikes illegal. Also, not trying to be a naysayer, but a general strike is a pipe dream. You can barely get people in the same union to cooperate, let alone multiple unions cooperating for a general.
