    The workers get to choose what gets produced do they?

    You are complaining about exactly the same people that the workers are striking against.

      Yes, because as a worker of any kind, I stand in solidarity with the people who are looking for fair compensation for their time and work.

      The workers get to choose what gets produced do they?

      Yes. If I work at a chemical plant, then find out the plant has been poisoning the town I live in, my most effective way to stop that happening is to refuse to make more poison and convince as many of my neighbors and colleagues who work with me to do the same. The boss won’t come down from his office and make it himself, will he? As the person making it, I’m morally responsible for it’s existence.

        Right. The impression given by your original post (pre edit) was that of not caring about the workers, I’ve just seen that edit and see the misunderstanding here now.

          Yeah, my mistake. I realized that afterwards, hence the edit. That’s what I get for trying to use a meme response, I need to be clearer in my reactions.
