    Oh look, the media tacitly linking a worker strike to a death. Color me surprised /s.

    This should be blaming the entity who is both legally and ethically responsible for the death: the employer who treated its workers poorly enough that a strike was necessary.

      He had been unwell, according to two prisoners at Auburn and another person who reviewed information about Mr. Grant’s health. That person said Mr. Grant had had several strokes: At least five were documented, including at least one in the past few weeks.

      I don’t think the strike caused this man to have 5 strokes.

      Also, as a general rule, anytime a headline uses ‘after’ or ‘as/amid’ to create a link between two events. Your media literacy should be sounding alarm bells that the link is manufactured for some reason.
