They should go on strike and stay on strike that’s fine actually
Didn’t the NYPD do that once and crime went down?
Comment on Do you think that these CBS employees should unionize and go on strike?

It was more of a slowdown actually, or I suppose more accurately a direct attempt at the “give the people what they are asking for and show them why they won’t like it”.
In short, the police continued to investigate major crimes. But focus less on trying to catch people in small crimes etc… IE stop and frisk kind of nonsense etc… expecting to come out of it saying “see now look how many major crimes happened because we didn’t nip things in the bud”, and it ended basically with major crime going down, and people being happier with the police.

None of the issues with police in America would be fixed by taking away their unions. Nor do any of the fixes require doing so.
ACAB, but even class-betraying bastards are workers who deserve a collective voice in how they are managed.
