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?
In a well functioning society, that would be called the government.
Kinda my point, right?
Make the government represent the people in bargaining contracts.
Local governments.
They then manage the labor market to make it easy for people to get jobs.
Make labor representatives funded by taxes an elected position to bargain for you against an employer.
Like a public defender.
In a court, if necessary.
Where our constitutional rights apply.
There is precedent for this: a contract for the sale of real estate in the state of NY requires a lawyer with a license to make sure that the deal is fair after some unfortunate abuses of the past.
Why can’t a contract for the sale of labor require a representative? And an organizing body? That’s elected from a given worker pool? Paid via taxes (dues)?
