I keep seeing articles about the tech sector billionaires going mask off. I remember there being rumblings of a tech sector union. Also in the last 4 years there have been some ground gained for unions in the service sector too.

Wages are suppressed and with the looming tarrifs goods will be more expensive. Also anyone earning under 300k is going to see an increase in taxes with the proposed tax structure.

It seems around 30% of the population are really excited about Trump, 1% of that are funding efforts to support his platform. So what do the other 70% do? Do they strike?

    If enough people do it at the same time it’s a strike, and firing them would cripple their business. If you’re in a position where you aren’t able to do that personally, and can’t change your position, there are other ways to contribute to organized labor. Plan for it well in advance, coordinate strikes to maximize impacts to supply chains and logistics, and when they try to negotiate in bad faith add more strikes. Look at the recent UAW strikes.
