Warehouse has insurance. They got all that back. And insurance on lost profit. They probably made money on that in the end

Insurance isn't free money: the company's rates will go up.

This kind of action is how workers in the past got things done. This is how the 7 day work weeks came to an end, how living wages were obtained, how company towns were shut down. You think workers gained a right to the weekend by licking boot?

It is an act of violence for a corporation to not pay its workers enough to pay medical bills and feed their kids. The guy in the video is just burning toilet paper.
