I know HR is all over any post mentioning strike. But workers need to level set with our corporate masters. I agree with the Strike posts.

strike? bah ha ha ha ha.
Strikes are for workers who produce products consumers want to buy.
When the workers belong to a company that is failing, there are no profits for the workers to demand a share of.
This Intel board seems to have the most uneducated workers in the U.S. Maybe that should not be a surprise.
Put the bo-g down already, your pipe dreams are just that.
What are your demands, OP? That customers buy more Intel product? Intel is in this mess not because wages are bad but because revenues and profits deteriorated as a result of lackluster products.
Hey, people. At the moment, Intel gets 90% of its sales from 7nm (the main moneymaker is Kiryat Gat), and the remaining 10% from 4nm (Leixlip). You can go on strikes here in the US until Christmas, which will only give managers and HR an additional criterion before the upcoming layoffs, while in Israel and Ireland they will simply increase the wafer start. Well, maybe they will start another taskforce - "out max" and will finally get good quarterly bonus.
I would also surprise if somebody from IDC Haifa will participate either strikes: Israel has very tight job market to loss opportunity be hired by either high tech company in future.
I can not also imagine that somebody from 12,143 Intel H1B visa holders will take part in either strike.
Folks who want to strike are fooling themselves. What would you strike over that everyone would agree? Would CW workers strike so admin and HR continue to work from home? Old fashioned strikes were for things like better safety, 40 hour work weeks, non-discrimination in hiring, none of which would apply to us. The things that have ruined the company are market forces and decisions made by the company 10-15 years ago. The time to have had a strike was in 2016 when they did headcount reductions that were so badly managed that the company apologized for later.
Yes we do need a strike. I agree. As I understand it organization has begun. I received an email.
Warning. It takes ba--s. but it is also one of life's few areas where a normal working class people can become overnight heroes.

I don't believe OP wants to remain employed.
UAW Detroit notes on striking. Not many will commit ahead of time (Concerned about being seen as agitator) but there's is power in numbers. You will be surprised how many will participate upon request (Lets go!) the day of. Each location needs a leader. On the agreed date and time you need someone rounding up the folks and sending them outside. (Act official) Its scary, its haphazard but it works.
