Not even, the protestors manage to direct their wrath at the employees low enough level to be riding the shuttles.
It's pretty ironic seeing the ostensible radical leftists following the lead of the Valley Wag's middle brow demagoguery.
Yes, SF's banking-class and politicians are loving this. The middle-class is distracted fighting their middle-class peers.
Or are you truly unable to see that you are not making anything remotely near average wages ? That you are not middle class, and certainly also not working as hard as the average middle classer ? You get sundays off, for one.
The result of these actions is people getting thrown into the streets by their landlords. Here's a tip : there does not exist an argument that will make people OK with that. Stop looking for it.
I mean, the immediate cause is landlords and the ultimate market cause is the lack of housing in Silicon Valley. Tech workers in SF are just dominoes in a chain.
And the cause for Tech workers being better paid is the failure of the average workers to defend their wages. You could defend your living standard by the left-wing means of unionization or by the right-wing means of providing more value to your employer so if you just sit on your ass and attack higher paid workers, you deserve contempt from any point of view.
