                    And they are a microscopic segment of the workforce in a very specific sector, limited to a certain geographic area; the vast, vast majoirty of people on strike right now, from John Deere, to coal miners, to film workers, to Starbuck's baristas, to Amazon warehouse drones are protesting shit working conditions; a couple hundred freedom patriot cops and firefighters dos not speak for the working class.

                            37% of unvaccinated workers say they will quit their jobs if forced to either get vaccinated

                              Union reps & labor experts say it's the most complex issue they have had to deal with in ages

                              "“​​This is one of the most complex problems that unions have faced possibly in my lifetime,” says Susan Schurman, a professor of labor studies and employment relations at the Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations. “Because there is so much diversity among their members in terms of how they are thinking about this.”

                              Tyson Foods (TSN) offered about 120,000 employees additional paid time off if they comply with its new COVID-19 vaccine mandate. A coalition of unions representing roughly 43,000 Disney World (DIS) employees agreed to a mandate with the company, though it excludes workers with a relevant medical condition or religious beliefs. And in Washington, a union working on behalf of 47,000 state employees reached a tentative deal on a vaccine mandate that will afford workers an extra personal day."
