this is a very minor disagreement i shouldn't have used 'wildcat' so you didn't get the impression i thought quiet quitting was a form of activism. i was trying to inflect the less organized nature of wildcat than unadjectived slowdown, which also implies a level of organization . maybe 'disorganized' or 'individual' would've been better. point was that we have existing labor vocabulary for things being trotted out as new, pathologized and propagandized
Eh, I think it’s an active effort to muddy the water for what the population considers labor activism, in an attempt to pre-empt labor activism they know might be coming and steer it down a harmless route. I don’t think this type of individualist “activism” should be encouraged at all, and any workers participating in this type of strategy should change tactics to the tried and true proven methods of militant labor organization.
