      Unfortunately both them (and us) forgot that this is the kind of thing their new deal tried to prevent. We didn’t get 8 hour days and 5 day weeks because we asked nicely and they felt generous. We got it because workers back then burnt down shit and the bosses were at a reasonable fear they were gonna get got.

      We need to put the fear back into the rich again if we need to see real change.

      That’s not a new union tactic, that’s an old school union tactic. Organisation and unions started with riots and breaking shit.

        Really heartwarming to see us go back to our roots. I honestly thought the system had managed to breed it out of us.
