The replacement workers probably thought it was positive.


Until they started wondering why their pay and benefits was worse than they people they replaced, and when the management would decide that they could be replaced by even cheaper workers.


That you had to make up a fictional story to make your point says a lot.


I'm concerned that you're not trolling. If you do mean this in earnest - do you truly believe that this was positive for all future workers? Do you not see how this is bad for the organization as a whole from a systems perspective?

Like I said, I hope you're trolling, but I also know there's plenty of people who have drank so deeply from the rabidly pro business kool-aid so hard they're drowning in it.


Business owners doing everything they can to pay workers as little as possible is the thing you call out as a fantasy? Buddy.


Why do you always take the side of techno-oligarchs? Do you not understand the very basic reasons why strikebreakers are bad? Are you really this deeply brainwashed or just trolling?
