What is a worker’s union? How does it internally work? How can a union make the affiliated company do stuff to benefit the union(why can"t a company just say: f*ck off to their demands)?

If the company tells the union to fuck off, all of the workers who belong to that union walk off the job and the employer has to run short handed or shut down production.

or hire scabs. (which… heh. leads to bullshit QC.) (don’t be a scab…)

Or, if you’re in Reagan Mode™: declare the strike illegal, fire everyone, and hire scabs as permanent replacements.

Genuinely surprised that that whole ATC negotiation fiasco didn’t eventually involve some sort of air catastrophe.
