Yep, and I can’t think of a single time when a striking union’s demands weren’t reasonable. You don’t strike on a whim; that is the last option for conflict resolution, and you’re not getting paid for the duration of it. That said, you’re going to make damn sure that your demands are reasonable and are likely to be met as soon as possible.
Strikes are also very visible, so you are going to want public opinion on your side. Thus, you’re even more encouraged to head to the negotiating table in good faith. But, every time it happens, higher ups always try to paint the strikers as greedy, entitled leeches demanding a handout (almost as if they’re projecting 🤔 ).

Don’t the union leaders make money even during strikes?
Doesn’t US unions have money set aside for strikes so that they can support their members if there is a strike?
Don’t know. Probably changes union to union
Not more than the union members
No idea
You need to remember that even though the ceos aren’t angels, that doesn’t mean everyone else is
If you believe that only angels are on your side, you probably are a Jehova’s Witness.
I believe that every side has it’s pieces of shit, some just less shitty than others
Then what’s your point? Unions are bad because there are some suboptimal people involved with it?
I’m saying people in unions can be shitty
Well, anyone can be shitty, so what does that say about the unions?
