    Incorrect. We had union buy-in from over 100+ unions. We had business owner buy-in as well, bringing the total to 700+ businesses closed during the strike. The organization was grass-roots, fast, and actually gave people the time to get behind it. This one is… not as organized and its got me worried.

      It had union buy in to organize the union members. A strong core to let people know it was serious and they wouldn’t be alone. But that didn’t manage the other people who joined.

      I do agree that this is less organized and without enough prep time. The same thing needs to happen with national unions providing the core to make it real, then the more exposed workers can get the confidence to act. You don’t need unions from top to bottom though.
