Thugs
In the not so distant past, this type of extortionist action would have had the public, political, and business community in full retreat from their support..
Our cultural well, is so poisoned by the Liberal elite, with the assistance of the MSM, have so distorted reality, that I can hardly recognize my own Country anymore..
We can only hope that their own arrogance will eventually be their undoing.. ugh!
I can’t understand why anyone on Free Republic wouldn’t support workers’ rights to strike. I don’t care how the companies deal with them (fire/replace them?), but I’ll be damned if someone tells me that I have to work a certain job. I work because I have a voluntary arrangement with a company to do so; when that is no longer satisfactory for either of us, then the relationship will end.
As for the timing, it is called “strike while the iron is hot”; it certainly removes any sympathy I have for any workers that permanently lost their jobs over the strike, but companies don’t ask workers when it would be convenient for them to join the masses of unemployed - they do it when it is best for the company!
