This sounds a lot like the farmers protests: a segment of workers who are not keeping up with an increasingly competitive world are demanding to continue to be paid at an unreasonable (above market) rate for the services they provide, effectively asking for protection from competition at the cost of everyone else. And since their chosen line of business is not working out, they are resorting to illegal tactics and “agitating”, which is code for protesting/rioting or other illegal tactics (like blocking delivery vehicles).
With the farm laws repeal, it has essentially been proven that you can now stifle the population and infrastructure and get your way. So I won't be surprised if this ends up working, unless the government grows a spine.
