What action am I supposed to take on behalf of these cognitively-privileged workers already earning six-figure salaries?

Support them by boycotting. I don't understand your statement here. Are you saying that because you have it fairly well, that you should let your labor be as exploited as possible?

If I earn 200k a year, and my employer earns 1MM a year from my labor, why should I not protest for better work conditions, or more % of my labor? If my labor is valuable I should be able to capitalize on it as well.

A worker earning 20k who is making the employer 40k a year is earning a higher % of their labor value than someone making 200k earning 1M a year for the employer.

How would you or I know whether NYT earns 1MM a year from a striking worker or 100k?

You're just assuming that the labor's value is above the pay. Have you ever met a strike or labor action that you did not like?

I think NYPD labor actions is something I feel strongly against.

- underpaid

- they fight tooth and nail for lack of accountability

- they get lots of fun benefits for overtime, so they make sure to arrest people so they can get overtime

I can't say one positive thing about the NYPD union, it is the "anti-accountability" union.

OK fair enough.
