A generation of young people are watching their parents go on strike for the first time in their lives. ⤵️
. According to the MNA, nearly 700 nurses are still holding the line with signs, chants, and supportive family members in tow. Given the labor movement’s increased visibility in headlines, a generation of young people are watching as their parents go on strike for the first time in their lives.Brothers Joshua and Jacob Mobley say their mom brought the decision to strike to the family and together they talked through the pros and cons. Jacob says he was surprised so many nurses voted to strike.
Ally Stewart, 15, says financial stability was also one of the first things that came to mind when she found out about the strike. Her older brother would be heading off to college soon and she wasn’t sure how her family would cover the related costs. They canceled a summer vacation, tightened up finances, and shifted priorities. Overall, Ally says, it’s been manageable because her father still has a job and can provide a steady income.
As the online furor picks up around Striketober, it’s easy to forget that the thousands of employees who’ve voted to authorize strikes, to go on strike, or are in the midst of ongoing struggles don’t exist in individual silos. Many of them have families, kids who depend on them, and a matrix of other responsibilities that are weighed and considered alongside the decision to go on strike.
The demarcation is significant. Even now, as people promote strike authorizations online and encourage a, it’s difficult to understand the day-to-day effort that goes into coordinating and sustaining a labor strike. The misconception that workers go on strike for selfish reasons is a sore spot for Lorelai, who has seen her mom maintain her resolve through tired days and nights of picketing, meetings, and more for eight months straight.
“Ever since I was little, she's always told me you have to stand up for what you believe in," Lorelai recalls. "That's why, when I partake in protests, I always have her in the back of my mind. Seeing her take her own advice, in a way, has been so cool.”
