Our work is slow, but everything goes in one direction "(261). If the Mac tells us that work is more valuable when it comes to achieving a common goal, the Mac is correct.

In The Dubious Battle of John Steinbecks there is a power struggle between a powerful owner and a weak worker. Owners are more authoritarian and worried, but when workers are pushed to the limit, they use the power to be striked. Since it invalidates their attack purpose, the picker can not fulfill the owner's request. On the other hand, the producer association can not give a picker as it thinks that it will sacrifice them and to regard them as weak. This stubbornness between the sides caused a long and fatal strike that could be avoided.
