This article got me thinking about viable methods for remote workers to strike, as in-person picketing isn't as accessible for remote workers that are widely distributed geographically. As time goes on and more and more jobs move remote, this might become an important way that workers will have to adapt to continue improving workers rights.
I'd guess that a large amount of communication work surrounding a strike could be done by workers remotely if they were far away from pocket locations, but I imagine there's only so much of this work to go around during a strike. Are there any other good strategies for striking remote workers that don't rely on employees physically gathering in the same location?
Also, are there any examples in the past of some kind of 'cyber-strike' where a striking union uses a denial-of-service attack or some other type of mild cyber attack on a company during a strike? Do you think this would be a reasonable strategy, or too unsavoury for a union to undertake during a strike?
