On Wednesday, I learned that McDonald’s employees had been striking for hazard pay and better working conditions.

After the strike was over.

I hadn’t ordered McDonald’s that day, but it make me think – there should be a site where worker groups post when they’re striking (the picket line version of https://isitajewishholidaytoday.com) so that we’re not dependent on stumbling across a tweet to know that ___ is on strike, don’t order there today.

Before COVID-19, you could at least see the picket line (unless you were ordering from Amazon, or your particular franchise wasn’t striking, or any number of other complications – but you get the point). Today, how are you going to know that a warehouse or restaurant is on the other side of a picket line? I hate being dependent on social media for that, especially when social media owners have often demonstrated hostility towards unions.

I don’t have the time-bandwidth or know-how to do the backend, but I’d happily pay for domain registration if someone is inspired to make this a thing.
