    Musk “picked” the wrong fighting grounds here. I’m pretty sure he will lose even at the supreme court eventually. And each day this drags on is a win for the unions

      That’s why strikes work. If you’re not paid enough, not going to work barely loses you anything. If a workplace is shut down the company loses thousands per day. They still pay rent but earn no money.

      Strikes usually end quickly if the company is focused on money. It’s cheaper to pay workers a raise they originally deserved so they feel like they won, than stay closed.
