      be paid a living wage

      Not that you’re wrong, but the strike doesn’t even go that far. They not even getting paid for a large portion of their work, at all, so they’re asking to be paid for time at work that is currently unpaid.

      Why don’t leftist go support these things. Like if this was conservatives, there would be support across the country with multiple conveys loaded up and lawyer funds reaching into the millions. Every overpass across the country would be filled with people with signs in solidarity. But leftist with all their talk about solidarity just watch from the sidelines and will move on to a new thing by tomorrow. Are they stupid?

          Can you tell me how what you said in relation to the convey protest?

          I read your response and it feels like you’re arguing that conservatives wouldn’t fight for unions and what their message is. The point I’m making is not that they would fight for that. I’m making the point that the right mobilize and fight for what they say they believe in. The left will protest but it’s not effective. The two parties are weirdly divided in their approach with entirely different results.
