    I can’t wait for Oliver to talk about this on his show and spend some stupid amount of money to help the cause

          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 🤔 ).
