No rights, benefits, or workplace protections are safe if the bosses can simply impose their will on us. Whatever issue workers face or demand they have of the bosses, big or small, it is collective struggle and confrontation – not backroom begging – that will get us what we need. Working class economic and political power must be won by directly confronting the capitalist class, and can only be conquered by united workers organizing and striking to shut down the employer’s flow of profits.
