I don’t know, but does it matter? If an employee group understands how much they are worth, and can get more benefits commensurate with that worth, then I applaud them.

[viraptor]

At some point it does. If they're being underpaid, that's one issue. If they're aware that they're currently irreplaceable and able to effectively hold the company hostage, that's a different one.

I don’t see much of a problem as long as the company is still making a profit. The striking workers could strike until they’re receiving all the company’s profit, at which point it would be as if they’re receiving the actual value of their labor. Not that crazy of an idea.

[pgodzin]

Wouldn't someone irreplaceable be underpaid until they are compensated enough such that they could be replaced for that amount?

[scatters]

What if that employee group are upper management?

[claudiawerner]

Of course they should have the right to strike too, and they do.
