You have much more in common in your economic needs with the striking workers at HarperCollins than you do with their executives and board members. That's what solidarity is about. All workers deserve good, living wages and working conditions, whether they're working a desk job, operating printing presses, or "just" flipping burgers or collecting trash.

This is a prime example of how ignorant reddit is. Municipal employees are unionized in most places in the US. And those unions, depending how old, can sometimes be absolute garbage at serving its members.
