How scary headlines about 'economic impact' of strikes erode solidarity

> Why do our media only ever talk about about “economic losses” caused by strikes, but none of our media giants like CNN or NBC can take the time and resources to figure out how strikes can benefit workers and society?

2/ Alan worked 30 more years in the glass container industry and enjoyed almost 30 years of retirement. His brother George worked most of his career at the Fawley Oil Refinery, UK’s largest. Robert worked on the QE2’s engines which propelled it over 2.6 million nautical miles, and received an MBE in recognition of his lifelong labours.

We owe a debt of gratitude to all the workers of the world as we celebrate Labour Day 2023.

My Dad, Alan, between two of his brothers, Robert and George in this photo here, taken when they all were retired. Dad, a skilled machinist, was a #union man all his life. Came to Canada in ‘53 worked for Rolls Royce Aircraft engine division, Ford in Windsor until the ‘54 strike and on the Avro Arrow until Black Friday in ‘59. #LabourDay #LaborDay #solidarity

🇺🇸 A great way to celebrate Labor Day would be to unionize. 🇺🇸

Divided we beg
United we bargain

I saw someone on here accusing Taylor Swift of 'union busting' because she decided to release a concert film during the strike. It didn't seem 'right'.

From the link:

"SAG-AFTRA, the union representing most actors and performers, has permitted several independent projects to continue filming amid the strike, including Swift’s “Era’s Tour” concert movie, according to reports from Billboard."

🚨 THE ECONOMY, UNIONS, AND YOU🚨

"Let's be clear. After this report, after this study, after all of the information we have seen, after everything that has gone on the last few years... When politicians are anti-union, you need to remember that they're not actually anti-union.

They're anti-YOU.

Because its YOU that's paid less. Its YOU that has less benefits. Its you that is so easily replaced."

This...

The #UAW is talking about a 32-hour, 4-day work week. The #Biden admin is looking at overtime pay being expanded to more people. Writers strikes are ongoing. Pro #union sentiment is up everywhere.

Economic anxiety troubles #liberalism, which decays unless it's constantly reinvigorated. And that anxiety encourages a shift - either to #socialism, #fascism or a "third position" (ie fascism again).

But the UAW's #ShawnFain talks like a Marxist, and right-wing pundits are offended.
