Oh no, they might have to run a competitive business instead of relying on artificial scarcity, price-fixing, and wage suppression. How terrible!

Good?

Good, even though the union strategy of getting a slice of the cake while enabling processes that will screw over workers everywhere else can be debated.

IDK... "average payouts of $460,000-$477,000 per worker this year" no way that the average worker will get half a million dollar a year. So I don't really understand what this strikes are aiming for.
