I mean you can look it up or someone can link details but basically when the bus drivers of Japan went on strike they continued work but without taking fare… It would have to be a unanimous thing among the workplace/ community because otherwise you'd personally get sued lmao.
but if groups of underpaid workers start giving each other free goods and services, it would be the best kind of protest because the only people getting their lives impacted are the ones who deserve it. To actually go about and plan this though, it would have to be set date or days… where a bunch of underpaid service workers (think waiters/ fast-food workers, delivery drivers, grocery clerks, anyone who has ever worked in retail, people in the hospitals, nurses, paramedics, and other support staff *cough* people that work with the bills *cough*, etc. get together and mutually refuse payment for any goods/ services rendered.(unless a guy with a $10,000 suit rolls in cuz fuck him)
I also understand this option wouldn't work with lots of jobs that depend on commissions or sales, and people that depend on tips, but that's another whole set of disgusting business practices.
Basically the whole point would be to fuck over sales of big corporations by cutting into their profits until they start paying people livable wages based on where they live (if you work full time you should be able to survive regardless of how expensive living in any city is)
people need to start realizing that you need these “unskilled workers” and it should be up the employer to supply a livable wage especially if they demand most of your time.
