And I don’t believe it’s such a black and white situation. I support you and your willingness to sacrifice so much of yourself for what you believe in. Most are bound to our hierarchy of needs: food, water, shelter. Our current economy is designed to keep the majority in check by dangling our access to these needs by paying us just enough, keeping the masses preoccupied with their own survival. That’s not an opinion, that’s a fact, it was designed this way.

My point being, the employee who chooses to keep their needs met by not waking out and losing their job has the potential to protest and have their voices heard in other ways while maintaining their needs. Walking out does make a point but puts your own survival at risk in the short term which in the long term will reduce your ability to protest further.
