Support Striking Workers

I’ve seen a lot of posts in light of recent events about what we can do to fight back. King Soopers workers will be striking in Colorado starting on Thursday. Striking and withholding our labor is one of the few cards the working class has to play in a country run by corporations. If we can learn to always have solidarity with our fellow workers who are striking, then there is hope that this solidarity can spread to larger movements.

So, when King Soopers employees start striking on Thursday, show your support in any way possible. Honk when you drive by as they are picketing. Give words of encouragement as you walk by. If you have the means, avoid shopping at Kroger stores during the strike. We, as the population who buys everything and produces everything, have the means to hurt the bottom line of any business within a matter of days if we can have solidarity.

Edit: it looks like the strikes won’t be happening in NoCo, but, as a commenter pointed out, we can still show solidarity by not shopping at King Soopers during the strike.
