I don't think the strikes are done by tech people at all. Just normal workers.

Then indeed these striking workers are doing so bravely, especially in comparison to the wealth of American workers.

and it was an absolutely made up number. The real numbers would be so low it was insignificant. That number was only reported in global outlets, and that strike had zero practical impact in India. It was so uneventful, almost all of India except select pockets that has communist party influence didn't even know about the whole thing - let alone felt the impact of the strike.

This is a fact.

I think they might have added all the trade union workers across India and came up with that number.
