The studios thought they could handle a strike. They might end up sparking a revolution - Lemmy.world

Aren’t the teemsters about to do their solidarity thing here soon?
I thought solidarity strikes are illegal. What are they planning?
Making any strike illegal is so weird to me, like it goes against the idea of a strike in my mind. Isn’t the entire point that they don’t want you to do it, it’s the power a group of people have over the tiny elite?
I can see how it can be potentially problematic. For example, If I’m the owner of a shipping company what leverage do I have over Hollywood execs to pay writers and actors better?

The same powers all capitalists use over forces of governing.

By this logic, regulatory captured is impossible because an industry is only capable of influencing under its sphere. Government being influenced by capitalism is a direct proof of capitalists influence outside of their sphere of control.

The power of the people is unity to force the wealthy to act.

So to apply what you’re saying to my example: the shipping capitalist will use their lobbying influence to ”persuade” lawmakers to apply pressure on Hollywood executives to settle?
I’m saying its not the workers problems to solve. Our problems are our starving children and breaking backs.
