Yep, sometime around 3rd week of november would be fine with me. Shut this whole country down in 72 hours.

Ruin Christmas. Make people pay attention.

Do you think a strike affecting Christmas is going to make people support the union? Or will it only make them pay attention enough to vote against union actions in the future?

Well fortunately there is no way for them to vote against the union. They could support the hiring of scab labor if pushed by the GOP but that would very much damage current republican talking points on various subjects to include border security

Are you implying they even attempt to be consistent? The only thing that'll enter the average voter's head is "union made Christmas bad. So unions are bad." And vote for whatever anti-union props or candidates are on the ballot.

You're getting downvoted, which makes perfect sense when you consider how pro union the GOP has never ever been.

You forget that the republican strategy is to make people feel angry so they forget how powerless and afraid they are.

The conservatives would be happy to take care of that pesky union problem for you

Congress could vote to prohibit a strike and force the unions to accept the deal that Biden has brokered.

Exactly! I heard a story of Starbucks turning on mobile ordering at a closed store on strike. So when people arrived at the store to pick up their orders, they were mad at the people on strike.

Yeah, it's an incredibly common union busting tactic. Make the employees on strike feel like they're losing popular support and tank morale, make dissolving the strike the path of least resistance. After a couple of days getting screamed at by members of their community for inconveniencing them then the strike, and union efforts, will buckle.

No, they'll do it right before midterms For Some Reason.
Give FOX News some time to work with it.

Everything is politics. The union is just as political as anything else.
