nearly 700 workers will hold demonstrations on Zoom and outside the company's headquarters

so glad to read the strike will allow WFH via Zoom

Honestly, depending on the particulars of how that type of thing fits into the bigger picture, that could unironically be good?

Physical protests are the most visible form of protest currently, but any way for immunocompromised people and others for whom it's not safe to be out in the crowd to still contribute is probably a good thing.

And I'm sure the internet is clever enough to come up with a way to amplify those voices effectively eventually.

I'm picturing them deploying drones they can zoom call into so they can strike from home and also attack scabs like in The Birds

This is a really innovative way to reinforce their message that WFH is just as good.
