    This implies your power only extends to the company you work for. How are we going to change companies with workers outside of our collective interest? How are we going to change Twitter, we aren’t going to be able to convince the well paid workers over there to strike because there creating a right wing propaganda machine. How are we going to change companies that exploit labor in the third world? If everyone in the u.s. who worked for temu strikes they could still manufacture and send there cheap plastic over here through the mail.

      Your individual power extends to your company. The power of unions extends throughout all of industry. It’s why major unions are trying to organize a general strike for 2028. Yes. 2028. And even that is incredibly soon given all the work that needs to be done.

      Twitter is not only comprised of “well paid” class traitors. What do you think happens when the people that clean the server rooms don’t show up? What happens when the garbage collection at Twitter doesn’t show up?

      The dock workers union alone was able to get a deal recently just as the threat of a strike. We don’t need the support of every single worker (though every one helps. Even the software engineers as they fundamentally share the same class interest). We need an expansive organization, strike funds, and a clear set of demands. This is what is being organized. But every single union that forms gives us more collective power. Yes, even the ones as your small business of 10 employees.
