    Hahahahaha. You think that’s what a strike is? A strike isn’t just a slight battle against the company. It’s an all out war. So to speak. It’s insulting to those actually in unions who walk the picket lines to suggest refusing rto is a strike.

    Please actually organize.

      you should try to get off of your imaginary high horse or you might hurt yourself.

      A strike is a refusal to commit labour to the company. Same as not doing a good job. In japan the ticket checkers had a strike where they did their job as usual but did not collect the payment for issuing tickets. THAT was considered a strike.

      why must quiet quitting not be considered too? We don’t participate in whatever greedy venture by doing the bare minimum.

        Because when they did that, it was actively less than the bare minimum. If you do the bare minimum, you’re still doing your job. Hence, not a strike.

        You also aren’t organized, which is another good reason to not call it a strike. A strike isn’t a few workers doing how they feel like.

        In America, when you strike you put up a picket line. You tell the company, this is what we want, and will do nothing for you until you meet our demands. And you do it together.

        As long as you are getting paid, you can hardly call it a strike
