The fist logo goggles, they do nothing
As a former member of the Teamsters and the Machinists unions, here's a protip: organized labor tends to be more effective when there's actual demand for the output
In fairness there have been effective strikes by newspaper workers before. In 1962 and 1978, by unions who ran the delivery trucks and printing presses, not the Brotherhood of Snarky Movie Critics

I'm no marketing expert, but I'm not sure VASECTOMY MAYHEM is the best urology clinic branding strategy
Try to imagine lying down on a paper covered padded table, everything but your junk masked off, and the doctor bursts in with a WWE entrance, swinging a chainsaw in the dry ice and strobe lights
