There have been several major strikes the past few years and very little mainstream media coverage of those strikes. Interesting, isn't it?

What was it about the billionaire-owned media that might discourage stories about the union movement?

#SupportStrikingWorkers.

Media is corporate - it's owned by the same investor and ownership class the unions are striking against. Many strikes are covered, but from the perspective of how badly those strikes are affecting the economy and how they hurt consumers.

But they still find strikes and unions preferable to the real solution for worker misery - abandoning the corporate world and reforming as worker-owned cooperatives. They never take that idea seriously.
