But someone please help me out 😅 it’s come up in my life enough, but never with much depth apparently. Everyone always seemed to assume we were all on the same page.

If one worker is mad because the company pays too little and says “pay me more or I refuse to work”, the company can easily say “ok well if you don’t work, you’re fired”, and they can follow through and it’ll likely hurt that worker WAY more than the company
If ALL workers say “pay us more or we refuse to work”, the company can’t really get away with just firing them all, it’d absolutely cripple their ability to run the business and they’d be losing tons of money daily from having to shut down. Replacing an entire workforce would be really hard, especially without anyone left that’s experienced and can train new hires, so this may make this company more likely to give in to demands. Yes workers still don’t get paid during that time, so they also want to come to a deal and negotiate, but the company can’t really afford to just say “you’re all fired” and start anew, or rather, it’d be cheaper to just give them a pay raise
Of course it gets more complicated, but that’s the gist
