    You just posted a bunch of anecdotes about wildcat strikes, which the article itself even mentions were also widespread during times of mass action! We don't have apples to apples comparisons other than large actions, and it's not like large actions replaced wildcat strikes in decades past - they complimented each other, or had different motivations in a lot of cases (radical Boomer kids at GM in the early 70s going on wildcat strikes over the nature of work vs more direct material concerns, for example)

    It's a start, but the idea that labor power is anywhere near where it was even 25 years ago is completely bullshit. I don't think a lot of Leftists understand how completely mainstream the idea of a strike was even a generation ago. It wasn't considered revolutionary praxis, it was just a part of life.
