Yes, that guy could probably habe reached more sustainable success by cooperating with other workers against the system.
However this fire might shake some workers up that without their consent and cooperation that current system wouldn’t be working. The owner class relies on acceptence of their wealth and belongings by the masses after all… or, differently said: It takes just one unsurveilled angry worker to turn estate into a huge pile of ash. And there are billions of them.
Go look up the coal mine wars. The owners of companies would kill us right now if they were legally allowed to. Right now, they are slowly killing us. Remember, Unions were the compromise. I hear you that it’s a big mess, but when cleaning dishes, rarely does the water stay clear.
Too many people are brain rotted around union talk, and the last I was hearing the whole starbux unionization effort was still being fought. How easy it is for corporates to make our lives hell if we dare ask for more, we need the resources to survive the fight which is a fun catch 22 if you’re not unionized because unions provide those resources.
Actions like these remind the owner class that unions were the nonviolent compromise.
legitimately, a lot of folk out here think you will lose money (not benefits i know how that cookie crumbles) if they take a raise. because their tax bracket would change. so they turn them down and the people owning their companies cackle. critical thinking is not where they spent their focus.
If it only barely bumps you to the next bracket, it’s not worth it. I had more time and money by cutting to a 30 hour week and not paying daycare, sick care, before school care. I moved to a lower tax bracket and pocketed an extra $20/week.
My two cents:

The rest are pussies

the way tax works, is that only the money that bump you over the threshold is taxed at the higher bracket.
so if there is a bracket up to $100 taxed at 5% and a bracket between $101 to $200 taxed at 10%…
if you made $101 … the first $100 taxed would cost $5. and the tax on the $1 would cost $0.10.
so someone making $100 pays $5 with $95 remaining, and the person making $101 pays $5.10 with $95.90 remaining…
so then there is no reason to deny a raise of any amount, even riding the threshold.
i did mention the benefit cliff, didn’t i?
