If all the employees struck it could affect the earnings and net worth of the executives and equity owners of companies. Now, it really doesn’t to much of a degree , because the people above the mid tier don’t necessarily need any additional private wealth. Employees now can be threatened with having their job outsourced, having their job eliminated, or having a plant moved to another country. Those threats from employers didn’t exist in our nations past. These corporations and private equity work together to set wages, so these people are wasting their time striking over pay.


It’s called illegal immigration. Those workers are driving the rates down. Unions are leaches. Just look at them trying to organize at Amazon. Amazon drove rates up for everyone in the area for warehouse folks.
