    Our attitude should be that anyone complaining about strikes should be immediately excluded from society, unable to get rewarded or get a new fancy job & forced to start the career over.

    Basically what we (apparently) do to people protesting against funding genocides & climate change we should be doing to people oppressing workers bcs they want profits to be higher.

    Just deal with the strike, make it work without a stick or accept your business isn’t viable (or at least not with you in it).

      People should be allowed to complain most of the time the complaining helps bring attention to the protest. Otherwise most wouldn’t be known to the public.

        Yes, but ads work on all our brains & most of the time the public opinions form in regards to articles such at these (ie anti-strike without knowing the reasons, and in turn in support to political parties holding such views).

          Still it’s human af to complain just let people do it. It is annoying that you get into trouble because of something somebody else did or didn’t. Especially if your power is limited for whatever way.

          Personally I feel that if you enoy people to much they will side against you not for you. You kinda wanna get that balance going so the people with a lot of power are affected and those with little power aren’t.

            Oh, no, no - that’s not what I meant at all!

            Not literally any complaining (actual free speech & law protections apply), with the article as context - these are professionals acting from/on behalf of the company amplified by the money & media relations that company has (& possible political party relations).

            So if I use my corp assets & relations to push out “well” precisely written points about how strikes are bad that is not at all comparable to a random person just being a bit frustrated & bitch about it. It’s deliberate, amplified, and solely for profit. And it leads to shit like when in developed countries govs/parlaments/presidents literally outlaw strikes (eg per sector even when it’s uncalled for), and the public doesn’t care.

      But in reality, such people get new fancy boss positions 😉

        Yes, true.
        And in return held in higher regard even by average workers (perhaps not in that one specific company tho).
