“If you want to be able to bargain and not beg, you need to be properly organized, and you need to be determined a willing to carry it through.”
This so important for workers to understand. Individually, you are easily replaced. As a group, you can destroy a business or industry. This means that the employer has to negotiate with you. And it has to be in good faith. Now the business owner also has something to lose, not just the individual.
Good luck.
