When the employer treats them unfairly

This is how unions start

I will resign too

What the heck was in the new contract that made them all quit?!

And there are probably hundreds of people willing to take all those empty positions. The market provides.

I'm thinking everybody meant to say "I'll re-sign" oh boy

Aww I thought this was an April fools joke

Why resign? Why not wait til April 1 and then let them fire you, thus getting however much a company has to,give laid off employees (vs nothing if "fired for cause" like,stealing)? The US and Western Europe have such employment laws, and I'm guessing many Eastern European countries and other socialist-dominated countries have laws that get youSOMETHING when let go, but not if you quit/resign.
