You made a joke about breaking up strikers so that you could have beer. :/
Ah that comment. Ok let me clear myself up on that one. I didn't mean the workers should just sit there and take whats coming to them. I meant its good that they didn't strike so they wouldn't potentially lose their jobs because they went on strike and their superiors would fire them. Never meant any harm by that comment.
I can see what you mean, but wouldn't you rather they had better working conditions/wages in a job than have to put up with the status quo? Sometimes you need to act to change things for the better.
I honestly believe in things being better for the worker in question. Sure I'd like to see them have suitable working conditions but if they get fired they wouldn't get that but I do understand where you're coming from as well. [/b]
striking is the best option for them to better their conditions. where would workers be today without union and strikes? we would still be working 14 hour days with no benifits, 6 days a week.
Though it may cause some short term hardship, it is important to support worker actions for the long term goal of a classless society.
