I feel like Western labour just doesn't have any leverage anymore. The rich simply do not need us. They have outsourced enough labour that they really don't care if we strike en masse. Like, shut down which factories? They're all overseas.
That's what they want you to think. Their own lives depend on Western labor. That's who runs the ports, the railways, the warehouses, etc. Also a lot of high-tech stuff is still in the West.
