The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said the strikes would have cost the hospitality industry £50m alone, and the suspension “shows what can be achieved by engaging and working with trade unions and transport staff, rather than working against them”.

I always hate seeing things like “the strikes would have cost the hospitality industry £50m alone” like that’s a reason the strikes shouldn’t happen. Instead, in my mind, that’s showing the worker’s labor is worth £50m (it doesn’t say over what time period) more. The same thing with the US rail workers. If they are that critical to the economy, they should benefit from the value they create. If capitalism works properly, the value a worker creates should go to them.
