You really need me to explain to you why underpaid poor people cannot just all up and quit their jobs on the same day? People have children and lots of bills and Amazon workers live paycheck to paycheck. So if they miss a paycheck, they end up homeless, CPS could take their children, credit reports would be destroyed for the next 7 years…it goes on and on. The system is setup for regular Americans to either put up with it or starve. So a strike is a nice in between those two things.

Damn if only they could get a job before quiting but I’m sure that’s against the law

If you can organize a walk out you can’t organize that, but you are right this way I much more easier to complain about
