We’d like to think that in this day and age, workers across the world should be treated fairly. But unfortunately, that’s not the case. Instead of suffering in silence, thousands are choosing to stand up, speak out, strike back – and even walk out. There are labour disputes and strikes taking place all around the globe, as people fight for their rights.
r/WorkersStrikeBack is “a leftist, anti-capitalist, socialist subreddit” dedicated to supporting worker strikes, protests and unions. It has 144,000 members helping each other, sharing their stories and offering advice about workplace problems. We’ve picked some of the most eye-opening posts from the community. Keep scrolling for an informative look at how crazy capitalism can be, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you tick.
Don’t miss the chat Bored Panda had with Kshama Sawant. She’s a politician, an economist, a socialist, an author, and a former Seattle City Council member. Sawant is also the co-founder of a movement called Workers Strike Back. It’s not affiliated with the subreddit of the same name, but both fight for the rights of workers.
