Marxism represents a diverse range, from council communism to campism.

Anarchists should consider cooperating with Marxists who share generally common criticisms of authority and the state, but should not feel obligated to seek relations with authoritarians and statists, with whom they cannot possibly find adequate common ground.

Strikes require unity across a workforce.

If some workers in a local context work instead of participating in a strike, then the business is not pressured to acquiesce, and the sacrifice is in vain.

Striking in any case results in lost pay, which promotes fear and threatens survival. Solidarity improves morale and saves lives.

Fostering unity and solidarity is among the essential functions of a union.

Discuss salaries!

Discussing wages is constructive in general, but I am afraid many workplaces remain lacking in adequate solidarity for the tactic to be successful.

Beware of those who will try to bring down others instead of helping to lift everyone together.

Employers have all the power, though. It is they who may reliably hide behind the law for protection. Laws that protect employees are rare to be passed and rarer to be enforced.
