    In comparison as soon as UAW closes down a shop the big 3 start losing money.

    The observation seems to challenge your own premise.

    Why is Fain pumping the breaks when he could be building more momentum (for both his members and the labor movement at large) with a full strike?

    The current strategy seems to be winning, unless I am unaware of deeper problems. I am not understanding why you are displeased, or what you realistically expect that would be much better.

      I’ve e explained the problems ad nauseum in this thread.

      • Layoffs happening during this partial strike.
      • Demoralization of members due to confusion and a broken front.
      • Public concerns over stretching out the strike fund when in truth it’s the strongest in the nation. Which leads many uniformed in the labor movement to question the power of a strike.

        I feel you may be cherry picking arguments in order to support a conclusion you have reached for reasons that are emotional. Otherwise, I have little more to offer.
