    Not necessarily. The employees of airlines have been quite impactful with partial, random strikes in a method called CHOAS. Not everyone will strike at the same time and their strikes only last a few hours- enough to cause problems for the flight they’ve been scheduled on. This hurts the company without harming too many customers and has been effective in the past as a strike strategy.

    Think of a partial strike as a warning that more could follow if demands aren’t meet.

      Difference here: Amazon being owned by a man worth fucking $200 BILLION, any temporary disruption will hardly register on the grande scale of his wealth.

        Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Yes, this isn’t the best way to harm Amazon, but small, targeted boycotts can drive change. And I bet, if you try living without Amazon for a week, you’ll find replacements and it’ll be easier to move away from them long-term

          Exactly.
