Strike

The post-pandemic weapon of choice by underpaid and undervalued workers to paralyze or blackmail their employers, thanks to unions’ demands for higher pay and humane working conditions for these overworked and exhausted (or exploited) workers—their “illegal” actions would force the overpaid bosses or politicians to be on their knees if they won’t play ball.
