As of Wednesday, over 40 Safeway stores and a distribution center in Colorado had workers on strike, demanding better pay and working conditions for those workers.

Negotiations between the union and Safeway broke down last week over disagreements on salaries, causing the union to vote to strike on June 6, with workers from dozens of locations joining in the weeks since.

Philadelphia's largest city workers' union is on strike for the first time in nearly 40 years on Tuesday after a deal couldn't be reached with the city.

The union last went on a strike in 1986.

DC 33 is seeking an 8% pay increase every year for four years and health care benefits for all employees.

Challenge for all Leftists:

For every post or comment you make about whatever current left-wing politician is popular now that leftists think will make a change, make 2 posts about a union or strike happening somewhere, anywhere, in the world.

Workers have power, and through the use of that power is how workers will achieve liberation and supremacy in society.

Stop obsessing over politicians.
