[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4366639, member: 45785"] I remember the Los Angeles Newspaper Guild strike against the LA Herald-Examiner in the early or possibly mid-60's. Dad was a distributor for them. Essentially lost his job. Strike ended in 1972, IIRC. Dad got $18 from the strike fund. Worked as a longshoreman to keep my half-siblings fed. Until he gave up and moved to Colorado. Even with all the automation these days, somebody has to pull the boxes and such out of the containers. The management will probably hire strike breakers, just as was done back then. Also IIRC, the management company is owned by China. That may have some "interesting" effects. That said, we survived COVID-19, we can probably survive not being able to buy Chinese crap once again. If the whole freaking world doesn't just blow up and burn. [/QUOTE]
