      Many people are protesting & striking & resigning against mandates

      Better covid protections & higher wages are part and parcel to the larger struggle against being pitted against customers by owners/managers

        There have been dozens of stories about this and they’ve all been debunked as right-wing grift. There’s a lot of money in this narrative right now and you’re literally parroting what amounts to science denial propaganda

          so you're saying 2,000 NY firefighters just called in for some other reason?

            I’m saying that the commissioner has every incentive to call what they’re doing a “strike” and is literally the only source saying so. If you put a bunch of workers on unpaid leave, a lot of them are going to burn their sick time. That’s not a strike. But a strike would be illegal and would let them recall the workers, which is the whole point.

              yes, we can call labor action many names, but it's still labor action... within or outside of union strictures
