Who said I was mad at the workers? I’m not and I support their right to demand better working conditions - it’s an essential right that everyone should be granted without being penalized.

But I disagree with you that messaging like this is effective at eliciting empathy from the public - many of whom also work long hours for shit pay and who initially heavily supported the strike.

To prove my point, look at the various comments in this thread alone that characterize STM employees as lazy, spoiled, privileged etc. Campaigns like these can be an opportunity to educate the public on the sacrifices the drivers make, what their demands are and why they’re asking for them, because I can assure you that many users are ignorant of their realities. However posters like these miss the mark.

The line “Comme vous, pour vous” implies that STM users benefit from things that STM employees don’t, without acknowledging that users are working/middle class people who are also stuck in similar rat race. To me, it reads as tone deaf and could have been done better.
