Lol or what? This is what these megacorporations never understand: If I’m already broke, wtf do I give a shit about a fine? We’ll just strike harder. And good luck getting scabs.
Every time I see"court orders striking workers to go back to work" I always wonder yo myself why they think that will work.
Of course, I’m even MORE baffled when it works.
You guys had them so terrified that they got courts involved, and you think THEY Hold the power?
Protip: if you hold out long enough, fines will be dropped. If you hold out long enough, their resort is to put you in jail, in which you still won’t be working (for that company, anyway)
Also there’s a super secret move where you and your coworkers drag your employer out of their home in the middle of the night.
Anyone doubting this should look up what happened with CUPE in Ontario, Canada. The government passed a law that would fine them for striking. They went on strike anyway, and a collective of national unions threatened a general strike. The government repealed the law and wiped out all the fines.
It also becomes a giant red flag to any potential applicants.
“Why is this position open?”
“We had the previous employee imprisoned for complaining too hard about how little we were paying him”
Not that it can’t happen, and similar things continue to happen, but most (and certainly the best) candidates will avoid that place for many years, and demand extremely high pay from the beginning.
Did you read the article? The court pretty much took away their power to strike.

Let’s hope Koreans are more like the French than American.
Oops your 2.5B WON state of the art lithograph machine is dismantled, wish we could make chips but nothing we can do right now.
“Oops, you’re all going to jail and getting fined a shit load.”
So it all depends how they respond to that.
The American way - weekend strike is over let’s go home and back to work. We tried.
Or the French way - let’s go burn down the government buildings and set police cars on fire.

Ronald Reagan fired every single Air Traffic Controller for striking.
It really comes down to political will
And they are still short staffed to this day.
Yep

I’m guessing possible jail time? They are the state, they can make it illegal for them to strike and then arrest them.
Ah, yes, putting all the skilled labor in jail will surely help the factory run better.
Nope, it would cripple it for a time. I’m not saying it’s a good idea, but it’s not unprecedented
