Reply to comment by lekkermuff in Workers tasked with moving products in the U.S. food and beverage supply chain are at a high risk of severe injuries and fatalities — Grocery wholesalers and grocery retail stores saw the highest number of injuries, followed closely by the warehousing and storage groups by marketrent

The workers under serious wage threat don't have the savings to take time off. The rest know corporations and government policies are against them, or don't, but in most cases can live pretty comfortably for the moment. There's not the incentive to protest for most. Also, it takes a lot of planning and organization to be effective. If you go out by yourself there will be no message heard. In addition, to anybody that knows anything about the history of governments and corporations, they know governments will always side with the wealthy and corporations, because that's who they really represent. So if things end up being ongoing for a few months with no resolution from governments or corporations, people will have to die for change. If peaceful protests don't work, violence is the only remaining solution.
