Simplify things - that's the ticket! Simplify!
Reading about the four-month strike at the Mott's-Snapple-Dr.Pepper Plant in New York: the company wants to bring the wages and benefits into line with the wages and benefits of the surrounding area, and want concessions to do so.
In other words, give up $ 1.50 hourly in order to join the median level of the depressed surrounding area in recession-hit New York.
My own prescription is to stop drinking Snapple. That will surely makes those "rich", fat-cat workers regret they ever messed with Dr. Pepper.
Stop drinking everything bottled for your convenient consumption and adulterated with corn syrup, caffeine, and preservatives. Simplify by becoming tea-total or water-total.
Bring those workers to their knees!

If you could get people to do it, it would work. But, alas, they care more about their Snapple and Dr. Pepper than the rights of some union workers with a grievance. And the company of course can hire an army of replacements at half the price . . . which is what they are doing.
I did stand in front of the diet tea yesterday and decided to go home and brew some.... duh! I mean, I only have the product of about 5 hectares of Assam tea fields in my kitchen.
