    Fantastic to see workers sticking up for themselves on the other side of the world. An international labour movement is possible and would be a huge force for good in the world.

        That’s their current state because they’re taken advantage.of by corps. An option is to not be that by abandoning corps. The article is quite clear if you read it.

            Exactly

            When “so” is in the starting two words of a Lemmy comment, there’s a 90% chance you’ve attracted a real genius that’s definitely not at all building straw men and is totally capable of following along things without further explanation.
