Getting that Next Raise in Pay?

[redstar2000]

It is in Basra where the connections between economic reforms and the rise of the resistance was put in starkest terms. In December, the union representing oil workers was negotiating with the Oil Ministry for a salary increase. Getting nowhere, the workers offered the ministry a simple choice: increase their paltry salaries or they would all join the armed resistance. They received a substantial raise.

Thats not a true union, thats just leveraging a situation and applying blackmail.

Once the resistance in extinguished, these guys will likely pay the price for their well-timed ulitmatum.

I doubt that they are worried about what the year 2026 has in store for them.

Yeah, because the resistance will soon cease in a few months when the Americans leave, right?
Wrong.
The resistance isn't going anywhere as long as you gusy are there. And you guys aren't going anywhere.

Come back with that rubbish in a year. Al Sadr is already showing the initial signs of capitulation, and it's about time. Why prolong the inevitable?
