Glad the Shutdown’s Over? Thank Workers, Not Just Nancy Pelosi

Workers bore the cost of the shutdown, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that they began to revolt. By withholding their labor, they redirected the pain the Trump administration had inflicted upon them. Their actions were not strikes in the formal definition, because that option is not legally available to most workers affected by the shutdown. (Coast Guard families can beg for rent money on GoFundMe, but if they strike, well, that’s a mutiny.) So workers did what they could, where they could. And it was enough.
