I think you must have missed this part of Fain’s strategy:

One way Fain is doing that is by expanding picket lines in accordance with the progress or lack thereof each of the three automakers makes in meeting the UAW’s demands. Pressure on the companies is building with rolling deadlines at which additional strike sites are announced.

This is incredibly smart. It combines 1) clear penalties and benefits from complying with union demands while 2) preserving the threat that this situation could get much worse should the Big 3 not negotiate.

Most people don’t realize is that it’s the credible threat of an action happening that is actually what changes human behavior. Once that action occurs, the incentive for the other party to comply with your demands goes down considerably.

We see by our outfits that we are both cowboys.
If you get an outfit, you can be a cowboy, too. :notes:

How’s it going @discobot? Gonna be as asshole today?

After falling out of fashion for a few years Crocs seem to be making a comeback particularly among young people. Maybe it’s a casual hip trend or “they were nerdy but let’s make them cool”.

Is the strategy they are following from the Harvard Program, or is the Harvard Program studying it? Maybe that was just meant as a citation. A bit confusing.

After which 21zna9 was never heard from again.

Was it discobot …?
Or the Arkansas Deep State.

The cluelessness, avarice and narcissism of the CEOs is on full display here. Part of the argument made by the UAW was pointing to the huge jump in (already grossly excessive) compensation in recent years, demanding the same percentage pay increase.

An obvious and probably effective counter-strategy would have been for the CEOs to cut their pay increases down to the level of what they wanted to offer the UAW. But no way can an exec be expected to live on only $20 million a year, instead of $25 million!

No offer of a pay cut has been made at all.

The only things that count as cowboy boots are boots that you would actually wear to ride a horse. Period.

Anything else is just some variation on Kozmic Kowboyism,
