"YES IF YOU ARE IN A CRITICAL INDUSTRY YOU HAVE LESS OF A RIGHT TO STRIKE"

Entire thread on r/news is just the same sentiment of libs worried about their treats while the rest of America is already stuck in poverty and the world suffers already from American economic dominance.

edit for clarity.

    Imagine if your doctors earning 300k a year decide to strike to demand 600k a year and people are dying left and right as a result

    Uh, yeah, that's basically what the people who get paid that much do. They say "I want more money", and then they get it because they are too important for employers to freeze out, or are valuable enough to get hired practically anywhere the second you let them go.

    Turns out strikes are just that, but instead of one person, it's a bunch of people!

      Plus doctors have things like the AMA which are effectively unions. Except, instead of improving the conditions of everyone, they achieve benefits for their "class" by restricting entry to the field and lobbying for BS regulations and rules.

      AKA what Craft unionism does to a mfer.

      Wait, so you're telling me that when labor cooperates, they wield massively more power than if they act as an atomized individual?
