Comment on Why is so difficult to organize a strike

Bongles@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

I’ll just add that people are generally comfortable^*^. Yeah they bitch and moan about work and their employer, but for the most part they’re paying their bills, coming home and enjoying their house(or apartment), watching Netflix, going out to eat, making sure they have groceries, pursuing hobbies, and so on.

Risking all of that and having to trust that everyone else will risk it with you so that it works is a big ask. Plus there’s some potential programs that can happen with unions (see other comments) that get propagandized and blown out of protein by companies trying to convince you they’re a bad idea.

^*not everyone, not everywhere^
