The first thing I notice in this article that is written by the activists of the strike is the climax arrangement that is used. They start the article by talking about what will be happening within the strike itself and then proceed to list the reasons why you should be there. These reasons include, you would be helping a good cause, there will be celebrities there and then go on to list said celebrities. They also use emotional appeal in this article by saying that the company is treating them poorly and unfairly and that is why they are on strike. They are revolting against the company because they believe it is the correct thing to do and makes them feel like they are doing the right thing. This same reasoning could also be used for wishful thinking.
The values section is used here as well, by the workers making themselves look like the target of an attack by a bigger entity. They use the values by saying you should side with us not only because there are more of us but you can relate to us in our struggle so you should help. Another key thing they do in the article is amplification, they take the overall article and then break it down into time frames and how the strike is going to look based on a schedule. The justice section for the quasi-logical argument is also present here. They are saying they should be treated as every other worker and should not be made to do things that other workers in that industry don’t have to do.
