Seems to me there's a concentrated effort to convince the public that there's outrage.

There totally is. The American worker is starting to realize the worth of their labor.

If we went on strike (I'm a driver btw) it literally would have stopped the economy. We move 6% of the countries GDP. We all won with our contract. It's way past time for every industry to unionize if an employer is treating them unfairly.
